[Introspection Day] Goals 6-10

Finish Spiders in the Sugar Factory (6)

I'll be doing this from July to October.  It gives Todd an extra few months to see if he is doing the core icon or not, and it also lets me finish the physical book of Forever West (Just a lingering TC thing when I need to be moving on the Rhombus projects), as well as do the first edit pass of Heliotrope first.  Still, I intend for this thing to be a work of art and will make it a very very shiny book indeed.

Secondary: Lose 20 lbs after first weighing of 2016. (7)

Ugh.  I hate this goal, but it keeps coming up.  The baseline of the weight will be determined by my doctor's appointment Feb 23rd.  I need to do it which means tracking calories.  I think Julia's fast diet is probably a good one, so we will try low calorie days twice a week and then measured days the rest with one free day a week.


Secondary: Do two "Core" Tech projects plus 6 minor projects towards "Tech Mastery" (8)

Need to do this for career reasons and its a pretty important goal in general.  Right now, two of the six units consist of HTML5 and API's.  I need a practical manifestation of each but I'm not sure which. Jail Breaking a phone is another one but that one will likely wait until March.  So I think HTML 5 by May, API by April and that least about half the year for the two online coarses.  I will iikely try to do all at the same time.  The sixth I am keeping for something fun like maybe piloting a drone or god knows what.



Tertiary: Join a local literary group or writer's circle. (9)

Research for this one is paying off.  We have found a place that does something that sounds like Naked City but a bit tamer the second Wed of every month and there is also an online Amazon group that I'll be checking out after I get the story submission process down (if it goes down)


Complete Dads (10)
Been there, done that.  So naturally the plan for this is basically down and in motion.  I've contacted Alexis and will be setting up a contract for her and shared documents this week.  Should be completed in its core by July of this year.
