Accountability: Goals for Week Ending January 3, 2026 (Week 4, December 2025)

It looks crazy, but it’s called ‘taking the pressure down.’ The current goals take into account the need to publish at an accelerated schedule on both the writing and video fronts, in order to clear more writing time and prepare the way for a transition to a more sustainable and flexible work schedule in the, hopefully, not-too-distant future. In other words, I will not forever be trying to publish a month’s worth of work in a week. Having said that, I have a few more weeks to go before I can ease back. I might not, yet, be hitting all my goals, but I am getting closer.

Without further ado, here are this week’s goals…and hopefully I’ve hit a little closer to the capability mark:

Main Goals:

1. Write 7 poems for Another 366 Days of Poetry (mixed genre, currently 33,172 words);

2. Write 7 pieces of flash for Another 366 Days of Flash Fiction (mixed genre, currently 40,209);

In Closing 

Results for the week just gone are being tallied, and will be posted in a couple of days. In short, not everything was completed, but some things were swapped in when I noticed they needed prioritizing, and the goals were set at a level that almost accounted for the unexpected. (Room for improvement, there.)
