Page Count 5: End of 1st Quarter
September 9: 67 pages
This ends my first quarter goal: 66 pages from the day I started to 9/9. I did it! The info under “Schedule” will change tomorrow to reflect the 9/9-12/31 weekly goals.
I was so far ahead last Saturday that I thought I’d get up to around 70 by today, but the start of school was much busier than I was ready for. I need to remind myself that meeting the goal is the victory, not getting ahead of it.
My Aunt Maria talks about doing things with “clarity, focus, ease, and grace.” That’s what I want. While I might be able to physically write 10 pages a week during the semester, I could not do so with ease and grace, and I would start to lose enthusiasm and make excuses. So for the vast majority of the school year, the weekly totals are just 5 pages a week, sometimes less. Some weeks I’ll do plenty more, but even so, the Page Counts will grow slowly. I hope you’ll still cheer them on. Because we’ll reach 275 by next July, I know. Just in smaller steps now.
Onward and upward! 🙂
Way to go, Dre! Keep up the good work!
