The new project is going well. I made my goal of 8000 words for July. Now, I know that doesn't sound like much, and I should be able to do that in a good week, but for me at the moment, it was important to set a small, easily achieved goal and bask in the glow of success. I'll be more ambitious for August.
Which brings me to the question: Is it better to aim high and risk failing, or cheat a bit by setting a ridiculously easy goal and succeeding? I guess that answer is: both are valid approaches, as long as they work for you. The worst case scenario is setting that ridiculous goal and still not achieving it!
So, the goal for August is... 20 000 words. No, make that 15 000. More ambitious than July, still achievable, could be setting myself up to crash and burn, but I'll feel great if I make it.

- I write, I do the school run, the soccer run, the tennis run and the tae kwon do run. Sometimes I cook, occasionally I clean. From my deck on the southern end of the Gold Coast, I can see the Pacific Ocean. If I turn around, I see the mountains. I love where I live and share my life with my husband, two boys, two cats, two mice and assorted fish, lizards, frogs and somewhere in the garden is a green tree snake.
