2025 Weekly Challenge, Week 14: Deadline Looming

Last week was a relatively productive week, which doesn't surprise me because I know how my brain works.  I have a new project and I have a deadline looming, both of which are motivating factors for me.

Writing

I actually managed to work on my novel every single day last week.

Of course, many days I only wrote 100 or 200 words (one day I wrote 13!), but what I am pleased about is that every single day, I made myself at least open up my project and add to it.  Even if it was only 13 words.  I kept it fresh in my mind and kept moving forward every day, and that's a massive win for me.

I only posted to my blog and my author Instagram twice.

Decluttering and Organization

I cleaned my counter space in the kitchen where I tend to let stuff pile up again (it's already accumulating more — must do something about that) and started organizing show stuff and assessing what I already have and still need for Sunday.  I'm still behind on what I wanted to get done, but it's a major step forward.

Dolls

I started organizing dolls to work on for the show, but haven't worked on any yet.  YET.  Today I'm going to go through project dolls, see what I can get done before the show and what each needs, and get to work.  I expect the rest of the week to be a rehab frenzy.

Taxes

Somehow I managed not to get anything done on this (except for I think like a dozen emails I sorted one night but didn't record since I didn't work on it very long).  I definitely need to ramp up my efforts this week.

Lessons Learned

It was a busy week, but I've got an even busier one ahead!  I think we're solidly in the "hang on for dear life and it'll be over soon" stage.  I know I was talking about taking a break to recover after the show, but I'll have a lot of deferred things that aren't going to get done this week, so I don't know if I'll be able to.
