What’s Happening in the Cauldron August 22 – 28

by J.C. Keough Leave a Comment

Hey Y’all,
Thank you for joining me for my weekly planning session. This is what I’m mixing up in the cauldron this week:

Writing Plans

My goal is 10,000 words this week on what I hope will be a 100,000-word first draft – give or take 5000 words. I try to write Monday through Saturday, so that will be about 1700 words a day. So, it is entirely doable, if I just sit down and do it. 😊

Not Writing Plans

We had a lot of earth moving done in our yard a couple of weeks ago and I need to plant some things. 😬 As my husband says, our house is where plants come to die. We’ll see how it goes.

On a more upbeat note, we have a happy hour planned with friends, and when doesn’t a happy hour go well?

What I’m Reading

Except for the top book on the graphic, I’m reading almost exactly the same books. So I didn’t bother to update the picture. 🤦‍♀️ I’m getting further with audiobooks right now because I listen to them as I’m cleaning the house or working in the yard. No affiliate links this week, as I couldn’t be bothered. 😂

Radical Confidence – I’m bogged down about 3/4ths of the way through the book. 

5000 Words Per Hour – I’m always trying to figure out ways to write faster.

Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye – I have this lined up to start as soon as I finish Feel the Fern

Hot to Trot and Pushing up Daisies – On Audiobook I have two M.C. Beaton Agatha Raisin books lined up – I love this series and the feisty MC, Agatha.

Thought for the week

What steps will you be taking this week?

That’s it for now. First task up – writing 10,000 new words.  

Happy Reading!
