Weekly Goals, Week 46: Survival Mode

I can't believe it's already Monday again.  Last week was a blur.  We got a major snowstorm from Tuesday night into Friday night or early Saturday morning, so we really didn't go much of anywhere (other than to the barn to run chores, and a few local errands) during that time.

The snowstorm meant that most of our write-ins for the week ended up canceled, but I still did end up getting some writing done, mostly thanks to writing sprints on our region's Discord server.  We also had an easy day on Saturday, so I spent much of the day working on my novel.

I'm also mostly staying on top of the demands of running our region for NaNoWriMo FauxNoWriMo.  I sent out our email blast for the week and posted it to social media last Monday, and then ended up sending other messages out canceling write-ins due to the snow.  This week I do need to resume my search for a local venue that might host us on Saturday, November 30th for an extended, last-day write-in.

We're still taking care of Izzy, and while she's been doing better (and we put off any appointments during the snowstorm), the demands of her care mean that I'm still in survival mode.  With so much to manage, I'm trying to minimize what else I'm doing so I can focus on taking care of Izzy.  Therefore my goals for the week are again pretty brief and focusing mostly on the things that I either can't or don't want to sacrifice.

1. Keep working on my novel
2. Keep running FauxNoWriMo

I'm trying to work on my novel as close to every day as possible, even if it's not much.  I missed a bunch of days earlier in the month, but I've managed to work on it the past four days in a row.  The first day of the streak, I only got 164 words written before I tapped out, but the days since have been more productive.  I would rather write even 30 words than not write at all, though.

As for FauxNoWriMo, the main things I have to do are to write the weekly communications (there are three of us running the show, but I volunteered to take that on), and to run my write-ins (Tuesday evening, Wednesday evening, and Sunday afternoon).  I didn't go to the Tuesday one last week because of Izzy, and the Wednesday one was canceled due to the snow, so last week was a little light.  This week will be more a little more demanding in that respect, especially when you add in the write-in on Friday that I want to go to (not mine, although I'll be covering it next week).

I'm hoping Izzy continues to do well and the week itself goes well too.  I'm not sure I can handle having anything more on my plate right now.
