Goal achieving status

clare_dragonflySo I was going to check on my goals at the end of each month and see how I was doing with them. I failed to do that for January, but here's February's post, a little late!
If you want to look at the goals I set for the year, they're here.

inkingitout goal, but not by too much--certainly not so much that I can't catch up fairly easily. The NaNo novel is coming along and I think I'm in the final scene; I did the 10k for orgasm_circlet, though I haven't finished the novella; I've started working on darkfantasybingo; and I've been updating Chatoyant College every week. I also made myself a production schedule to give myself soft deadlines for finishing projects, and that's been fairly motivating. I've started the edits on Strange Abduction as well, though I'm way behind where I'd like to be.
Also, random funny/odd thing: I was looking through my notebook for something else, and found where I'd written down the original idea for what has become Strange Abduction. I'd written the main character's name "Taylor Veets." It really puzzled me for a moment, looking so strange, since shortly after writing that down I did enough research to discover that while "Viets" is a real surname, "Veets" is not, so I went with the first one. It looked weird to me at first, but obviously I've gotten used to it.
Reading: I'm behind on those goals, but again, not insurmountably. I would be in trouble if I was insurmountably behind in only March!
Other: I'm back to the gym, three times a week. Sometimes I have other stuff to do during the week that screws with my schedule, but I'm still going at least three times every week. \o/ I totally have arm muscles now. It's pretty cool.
