Day 4 -- 18 chapters {Grade:B}

It is about 3 hours till this day's list of chapters will begin, but I want to offer some clarifying thoughts about my method of tackling it all, well tackling is too rough a term for it, one must take their time and not rush things, but I also really really want to reach my 100 novels in a year goal.

My all at once approach must be moderated to a relatively small group that whenever one is finished something else can be begun.

1. Dostoevsky's Poor Folk
2. Erle Stanley Gardner's The Case of the Velvet Claws
3. Dashiell Hammett's Red Harvest
4. GA Henty's A Search for a Secret
5. William Faulkner's Soldier's Pay
6. John Steinbeck's Cup of Gold
7. Edgar Wallace's The Four Just Men
8. Charles Dickens' The Pickwick Papers
9. Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility
10. Ernest Hemingway's The Torrents of Spring
and 11. Anthony Trollope's The Macdermonts of Ballycloran


So the royal number of novels being read at a time is 11, it is set in stone now, I nominate Thomas Hardy being first in line for the next new one to begin. I had actually read his first or an early one of his before, but and this is important folks, I retain storylines as good, or I should say as poorly as a toddler, the mere sensation of reading them while reading them gets me through, but encapsulating what it's about I will always get an F on.

When I reach the 14th day I figure I am actually at that point will have developed an irreversible habit for this, the 3rd day was a struggle I must say, I often move onto something else after the 3rd day, but I insist this will be different, after 2026, I will be still reading up a storm, but posting about each chapter may not happen so that I can maximalize the time required, adding an annual 2 or 3 books by doing so.

Haha I had a similar thought yesterday, while training, then taking a picture and posting it on a channel that exists only for my training. I thought, if I trained the time I post, I'd increase my training...
But life doesn't work that way and motivation is equally important as practice. For me, I am strong and training but then there come these moments where I am losing my motivation.
These times come especially when you think you got it. They're random, can come after 2 or 3 or 7 months or even after a few years. So anchors aren't irrelevant and they're actually equally important as the practice, to my understanding so far.

It seems that you have the momentum:) it's good to accept there're going to be days of weak motivation and create plans for those days, just like building a shelter which withstand all weather and not only the good and sunny days...:)))
