Today has been a pretty good day. I am slowly, SLOWLY getting better.
I still have a super weird sleep schedule so I didn't go to sleep until like 7am and then woke up a bunch of times and still had weird nightmares. Like the one where I was on an elevator and it started malfunctioning and then it fell but I woke up before it hit. For reference, I am really scared of elevators and have been trapped in one before so NOT a fun dream for me.
Today I have focused on planning and resting. I have one more month of 2025 and I want to use it to accomplish a few goals and start setting myself up for 2026 and my new goal setting plan. That is to break the year into quarters because setting goals for the whole year doesn't seem to be working as well as it used to.
January Maddie's goals are always far different from December Maddie's goals and I'm sick of not working on fixing that. This year specifically was a let down in the goal/vision board department. I have only accomplished five out of MANY more goals because my motivations and desires changed through out the year so I don't even care to finish most of them now ya know?
So, now I can evaluate what's happening every couple of months instead of at the end of the year. This quarter method should fix the problems that I find with the current method. But first things first, December and what I want to accomplish in this last month of 2025.
I finished my 30k words of Cinder and Ash in 22 days, so I want to try to finish the rest of the book in December. Which should be easy enough to do and then the first draft will be done and I can next focus on editing. Which is crazy! I've never done the editing part before so I have no idea what I am doing lmao I've watched a handful of videos before but we shall see what happens because that is one of my goals for Q1 of 2026. To edit all of Cinder and Ash so I can get to the next thing which would be like beta readers or something, right?
Gods I have no idea lol
I guess every author has a slightly different way that they do this whole process anyways so all I can do is my best right?
Time to go back to planning and getting ready to sleep.
OH! Above is a picture of my brand new amazing beautiful shoes.
