That's why I made some things smaller than I could have. ^^ I feel this is much more manageable than all the stuff I tried to do last year.<br /><br />I'm glad you're doing good with your goals. ^^Brooke R.

I'm keeping to my word count goal every day and not beating myself up about it (too much) if I don't make it one day. That said, I always try to make up for it later.

"<br /><br />Great job keeping yourself accountable. There's a fun group of us on twitter who use the hashtag #wipmadness. We set goals at the beginning of each month, check-in with each other every Monday, and then report progress at the end of the month. We take turns hosting on our blogs.
