Apparently today is some kind of holiday, which is wonderful for me because it means I’m able to work almost straight through from Friday without worrying about people calling, emailing, or texting with any kind of urgent business.

I got a lot done, and in this post, I’ll report what I achieved and encourage you to do the same. That’s how we create accountability that works.

New Schedule Wins and Losses

Last week, I laid out an audacious new schedule for myself, and it kind of went too well. In other ways, it failed.

The failure is that I didn’t spread myself around like I wanted. The success was that I completed a big project.

Releasing a Book

I re-edited and re-released by first novel, switched some chapters around, and fixed the audiobook. It was a ton of work. My plan is to write a screenplay version of the book to post on the Black List.

That’s my goal for next week.

I was hoping to finish the screenplay this week, but I ended up having to do all this preliminary work first, to smooth the way for the script.

Evidence of all my work is below.

And that was my packed week!

What did you get done?
