7 Days to Change Your Ways: Conclusion

petercarriveau

A lesson in setting reasonable expectations Heading into this 7 day challenge or 1WC (1 Week Challenge), I was ready to put in the work, but it was not meant to be. Due to stupidity on my part in my personal life, the beginning of the challenge was stymied due to dealing with some very legitimate problems at home. If I ever write a blog post about relationships, I’ll be sure to write about it. Needless to say, I did not hit the goals that I set, but I have gained some forward momentum. Also, remember when I said I … Continue reading 7 Days to Change Your Ways: Conclusion

Here is a list of goals that I laid out a while ago. I still strive to do these things and will continue to do so.

It is important to have these goals, but as I will cover in my next blog post, it is equally as important to know when you have set impossible goals.

There is a reason that I was so apprehensive about doing another 1WC. As you will see from the post below, the results from my first go around were mixed.

In the spirit of my upcoming return to the 1WC (1 Week Challenge), I am posting my original challenge and the follow-up. I plan to begin the next challenge this Saturday, May 2nd 2020. Enjoy! This was originally published on August 22nd, 2018 Sometimes we bite off more than we can chew, in fact I’ve written about it before.

7 Days to Change Your Ways: Becoming a Freelance Writer

petercarriveau

Can one week of hard work change your life? Let’s find out! I’m a believer in the moon shot. For folks who are unfamiliar with term, it is essentially setting a goal that seems too great or grand to be true, and then sticking with it until the the job is done. I know it is hard to look at the current times and view this as a time of opportunity. A pandemic is raging and there is instability in both the labor market and society in general. Another thing has also become obvious; the inherent risk of counting on … Continue reading 7 Days to Change Your Ways: Becoming a Freelance Writer

Backlog Blog Blowout

petercarriveau

I used to have another website that was called “Carriveau Custom Creations”. I know, I know, it’s a little wordy, that’s why I scaled things back on my new site. The concept behind my first site was to try and create a showcase for the many interests that I have, whether it be writing, drawing, or graphic design. When push came to shove, I realized that that trying to cover that much ground while dedicating the time fully needed to excel at all of those pursuits was nearly impossible. For me at least, I’m sure there are supremely talented folks … Continue reading Backlog Blog Blowout

Hello all, It has been a while since I had a website to host my writing, but here we are. I have been posting on Vocal in the meantime, but will start orienting my writing to fit the format of my new site. My blog, Tune In!, will be starting up again along with information related to my book, Darkness Falls at the Edge of Light, and my wayward comic collection and auction business Comic Jones. Content will ramp up because everyone is stuck indoors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so why not give folks something to read? So, stay … Continue reading Writing is Power!
