CAHTY"S WEEKLY R.A.P #12 — August 13, 2023

RECKONING—I was hoping to finish a revision of chapter 28 and get a rough draft of chapter 29 and the epilogue done, but I didn't even make it through the revision.

ANALYSIS–I made a breakthrough in how to revise chapter 28, but I didn't take full advantage of the time I had this week, prioritizing an afternoon kayaking--first time and loved it!--over a deeper dive on the day I had time to do it. I think part of it is the dwindling summer, but--if I'm being fully honest and if I'm not what's the point?--a part of me is more afraid of getting to the end of the draft than the part of me that's afraid of NOT reaching that goal. With three weeks, it's still doable, so I shall take a deep breath and get to work.

PLAN–I shall take a deep breath and get to work! LOL. I've cleared three days this week for the kind of head down work I need to do to push to the end. Here's hoping it's enough! I also think I just need to go back to longhand. Every fucking time I tell myself I should try to stop writing longhand, my writing goes sideways on me. I have enough time to write it out and type it in, so I'm think I'm just going to do that!

RECKONING— I missed the email for R.A.P. #11 and never set an intention nor reviewed week 10. Oh well.

ANALYSIS— I kicked a** week 10 riding that article until it was done, published on my website, and sent in my newsletter. Can you say 2:15am? I spent week 11 writing to promote the piece and doing research for my next article.

PLAN— Have fun with my next article. I have original research. I'm going to pull it together, look for the story, and write that first draft by end of day Tuesday. Looking to publish this week, then take the next 2 weeks off.
