Row Specific Goals
Check in twice per week ~ only missed once
Check in with other ROWers ~ I need the accountability of being a sponsor; Kait has graciously welcomed me back.
Keep in touch with my writing buddy ~ very casually; usually through FB, sometimes Twitter
Don’t know what ROW is, check out A Round of Words in 80 Days and join us next time.
