I’m feeling on the ball this morning.
I’ve gotten a lot done around the house including two big loads of laundry (I’m still putting back the pieces from last weekend!) and cleaning. I also wrote 1,000 words for the book. I was talking to my friend, Rea, on the phone yesterday afternoon, who is also a writer and she gave me the advice of dedicating myself to writing 1,000 words a day. They could be great, they could be crap…but every day I WILL write 1,000 words. That way I feel like I’m accomplishing something and have more to work with.
I need 50,000 words by April 1st so I figure this is as good of a start as any. I’m feeling extra inspired today though so I might write another 1,000 this afternoon! 
I snacked on an orange from Hardy’s tree mid morning and then made this huge salad for lunch—
I used a bunch of spinach, a morningstar farms veggie burger, ~1/4 c black beans, 2 scrambled egg whites, ~1/4 of an avocado, hummus, hot sauce and a few leftover pieces of squash.
It was super filling!

Getting more work done this afternoon (plus some exercise thrown in there!) and then heading to a Kendall-Jackson holiday party this evening and then to a friend’s house to watch the finale of Top Chef!
Have a great day!

I love the idea of working a good amount each day, working towards an attainable goal to help you feel more productive. I usually procrastinate so setting strong goals that way should help you to keep going and get the job done efficiently!
Good job on the 1000 words!
That salad looks great and the photos are really pretty!
Goals are GOOD!! Love your enthusiasm.
That is a great idea. Good luck on your writing today!
Great job on the 1,000 words! Good luck writing!
Wow, a 1,000 words a day! I should take up this strategy with my master’s thesis. I’d probably have to edit about 500 of the words out after I reread it though. Good luck with your book
Top chef was so good! Minus the fact Kevin had a bad day…I definitely cried…haha
1000 words a day seems like a lot, but much smaller than 50 000, good advice your friend gave you!
1000 words a day is a good goal! Sometimes when I need to hit a word count, I keep in mind that I talk about 1000 words in one short convo with a friend, and that what I’m writing is really just like talking to a friend!!
the 1,000 words per day is a really good goal. good luck with getting that much out each day. if i could write 500 words a day, i’d be doing good! but alas, the regular job has me busy, busy, busy.
