ROW80 new goals for coming month

I skipped my last Wednesday ROW80 update in honor of the Internet blackout against SOPA and PIPA. I couldn't find who to contact at the US embassy to voice my opinion, so I sent e-mails to reps in California where I used to live, even though I'm no longer a resident. I figure I could speak for my parents, anyhow. It is nice to see that on occasion representatives do actually listen to what the people they're representing want. Now if some of those big Internet groups would get on board some of the other important issues it would be wonderful.

So this next month, starting today, I am doing Candace Havens' Fast Draft and Revision Hell workshop. From what I hear it's going to be an insane writing pace, so I'm going to redo goals for the next month, slimming down everything except for the writing:

• Writing goal: Keep up with workshop pace! I think it may be like 20 pages a day...by the end of 14 days we will have the first draft of a novel. I don't actually think I can do it, but I'm going to pretend that it's possible until tomorrow at least. I am taking a break from my regular WIP to write something new. Something irreverent that I started a few years ago.
• Blogging: aside from quick updates for ROW80, not unless I feel compelled
• Health: breath meditation 11 minutes a day, exercise 5 days/week
• Putting on hold the Spanish and Portuguese and reading.
