My Own Private Kanban


Well, not so private. I'm posting on the Web. But given my traffic, it's nearly exclusive. If you skimmed my original kanban post, you'll recall me bemoaning my sloth in not taking a picture. Now I have.  

Note My SEO-Free Heading!

Strange to loath search engine optimization when it attracts viewers. I must have a desire to failure, though it comes wrapped in fantasies of wild success. Still, my board lists the immediate, which consists heavily of updating all my old books, garnering reviews, new artwork, etc. Each day, I strive to write at least one page of a short story and a longer work that may end up a novella. Progress, consistency, and a visual record of achievement. 

In the right of frame, you'll note a section of my running/exercise calendar. Last month on top and current month on the bottom for comparison. As of now, I'm doing better with running than writing, but that's only because writing is more difficult, especially when mixed with the many marketing chores facing the indie author. You can write what you like, but then it's up to you to sell it.

Bravo on sticking to those goals. I find it more than ironic that writers look for anything ELSE to do but what they CLAIM to love doing. I count myself in that company I know I've mentioned this before but anyway, keep up the good work!!!

I'm gonna have to take a closer look at that board to see what's being done. But before I go, what is Kanban?

Again, keep to those goals! I shall get to work on mine. Thank God for long weekends!

I gave the bulletin board another look-see. Good idea. But I'm gonna need a bigger bulletin board.

After nine months, I find I've lost all zest for Kanban.

Like writing itself, you must stick with it to succeed.

In that case, I won't bother. I keep track of story progress in a journal. That'll have to do.
