This week I'm celebrating:
- I've just given a 30min presentation to my work colleagues so right now I'm celebrating that it's over! I don't worry too much about talking in front of people but if I can get away with not doing it, I'm happier.
- I've passed my level 1 OU course. I had to resit the final assessment as I failed the first time. Only by two marks though, and it was due right around the time of our wedding so I had a lot on. Anyway, it's done now and I've passed!
- Getting to 6500 words on my NaNo project. I can't remember the last time I wrote so many words on a particular project. Just need to keep going now.
How has your week been? Is the sun still shining?

Keep up the great work!! I hate talking in front of people.
ReplyDeleteI find the build up is the worst thing, once I'm there doing it the nerves lessen. I'd still rather not do it at all though!
DeleteI hate talking in front of people, too, and I avoid it at all costs. So if I had had to do a 30 minute presentation (or even a 30 second presentation), I'd be celebrating big time.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I'm very glad it's over, I must say. I much prefer writing to talking.
DeleteSounds like you had a good week! Hope you have a nice weekend too, and that you keep going with NaNo! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lara. I'm worrying less about my overall word count now, breaking my goals down into smaller chunks. If I can manage 1000 words in each writing session I'll be happy.
DeleteCongrats on passing the assessment. And writing 6500 words is awesome, woohoo!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks S.K., I was relieved with the result. Even if I feel things go alright, I still worry about the result.
DeleteI'm pleased with my NaNo count too, I'm persevering with it.
HURRAH to pass level 1 and to doing your talk! I don't like that either so I'd be relieved too!
ReplyDeleteHurrah indeed. Just need my level 2 result now and I can properly relax.
DeleteGood on you for getting through your talk. I'm horrible at public speaking so I'm extra impressed!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kate. I don't know if it's better or not to talk in front of people I know. I don't fancy talking in front of strangers to make the comparison though!
DeleteThat was a lot to get done in one week. Sounds like it's time t o rest for a day or two.
ReplyDeleteA rest would be good, but very difficult to find!
DeleteCongrats on your accomplishments. Sometimes we all need a redo. I do hope your writing spree keeps going. Writer’s Mark
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, I'll certainly do my best with it.
DeleteSounds like a great week! Congrats on the words!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie, I just hope I can keep my momentum going.
DeleteI know what you mean about talking in front of people. I'll do it but I'd rather not do it. So yay that you got through it and didn't run away :)
ReplyDeleteI had thought of running away. Or just calling in sick. I'm glad I got through it though, I won't need to do another one for at least a year, woohoo!
