Ten Weeks to Go

If you're wondering what The Impossible Goal is, you can read about it here.

Ten.
Looks like the Guinness record attempt will be on Thursday, August 8, as far as I know.

I'm still plugging along and making small bits of progress. The past several weeks I've been doing a "slow day" where I practice a take at 330-350 so I can practice GETTING IT.

You remember when you were a student (or perhaps you're still a student) when you're on the cusp of passing a test. You're cruising along when suddenly you realize, "OMG! I'M GETTING IT! I get to move on to the next class, or I get to graduate, or I get to be certified and work!!"  Aaaaaand then you stumble and drop.

Silencing those thoughts is a skill that takes practice, just as writing steno takes practice, so that's why I've had a once-a-week "slow day."

Welp, that's about all I got for this week.

11 Weeks to Go: Eleven :) No spoilers.

If you're wondering what The Impossible Goal is, you can read about it here.

 photo S07E14_zpsf7d3fd42.jpgI'm going to the WWE Extreme Rules show tonight, and I also need to get groceries, and practice, but I just want to talk about Doctor Who!!!

Non-Whovians, what is wrong with you it's all right. I won't go into it. Whovians who haven't watched it, no spoilers except to say TEH FEELZ!!! MOFFAT!!!!!

Progress is indeed happening. I did a 350 (supposedly) take and kept up with it quite a bit.  It feels good to finally get some movement after these last few months.

And while I was in my customary pre-Doctor Who spoiler-avoidance offline seclusion this happened. Thanks to Marc Greenberg, who put it out there.

14/13/12 Weeks to Go: Catching Up on Life

If you're wondering what The Impossible Goal is, you can read about it here.

It's been busy lately.  But now the semester is over and my schedule has cleared way up.  It's time to get back in the swing of things.  I've had a couple of days of good practice now, and I can feel the speed coming back.

So I'm going to register for the National Court Reporters Association annual conference and book my room--once I find out what day we're doing this Guinness attempt.  No more excuses. Time to make it happen.

Much love to Tami and Clay Frazier and their family.
