  • ROW80 Update: Back on Track.

    Shhh. Quiet. Do you hear that? That soft little breath of a sound, like a sigh? That’s my world coming slightly back together so that I can return to focusing on what really matters and not stressing the fuck out about everything. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’m still stressing out. But at least now…

  • RoW80 Update: Everybody wants to go to EXIT.

    Yes, this is Monday, and RoW0 check-ins are on Sunday, but I wasn’t around much Sunday because Saturday, I went to Exit. Exit is a really seedy, old, late-night (or is it early morning?) punk bar in Chicago, and it’s pretty freaking awesome. The title of this post comes from an epic exchange where a…

  • ROW80 Update: Too Soon?

    I always feel a little funny about the first RoW80 update of a round, usually because it comes up so quickly that you haven’t really done much or gained any traction on your goals. So I thought about skipping this one, as I only posted my goals on Monday, but I really didn’t have much…

  • RoW80: Round 3 Goals.

    It’s July 7th! Know what that means? A Round of Words in 80 Days Round 3! Starting now and running until…erm, 80 days from now, RoW80 touts itself as “the writing challenge that knows you have a life.” I’ve been in love with this community since I first discovered it years ago, and I’m thrilled…

  • RoW80 Update: Reflections and Conclusions.

    Round 2 of this year of A Round of Words in 80 Days has officially concluded, and there’s a little bit of time before the next one starts (July 7th! It’ll be here before we know it). A time to reflect and relax and rethink our goals and motivations. It’s also a time to look…

  • RoW80 Update: Recharging.

    Though I know I sometimes get this weird funk going on during the weekends where I feel all my focus is completely gone and I can’t get anything accomplished, I truly feel like this last week of RoW80‘s Round 2 has been all about recharging. It’s been an odd week, full of things that have…

  • RoW80 Update: That Last Dwindling Week.

    I’m sure there’s a few people out there who will roll their eyes or groan when I say this, but sometimes, it’s tough being so proficient. It’s been a good Round of Words in 80 Days for me, but I feel as though it’s about 10 days too much. I knocked out some pretty heavy…

  • RoW80 Update: Another One Bites the Dust.

    Another Sunday RoW80 check-in has sneaked up on me yet again, but I’m fairly okay with it, because it’s a post that requires a celebration. Another one of my goals for this round has been knocked out cold! Serpent in a Cage Version 3.5 is officially transcribed! The document is saved in both my Google…

  • RoW80 Update: Getting Back on Track.

    Some of you may have noticed yesterday that I’ve been M.I.A. due to a broken computer and anxiously awaiting a new one. That new computer has (finally!) arrived, so now we’ve back in business, and it’s time to really reconnect with my RoW80 goals, especially as we’re heading on toward the finish line of this…

  • RoW80 Check-In: Sunday Already?

    When I realized yesterday that I would have to make a RoW80 post today, I was a little taken aback. It was Sunday already? I guess the week has been kind of a blur from balancing the new job, my writing work, time with my boyfriend, and trying not to die on HabitRPG. That’s not…
