Sustainable Living Book Project: Schedule Made!

Starting a bit earlier than last time around, I’ve already created a writing schedule for the 48 Things to Know About Sustainable Living book project. With nearly twice as many “things” to write about (compared to 27 Things to Know About Yoga) I knew I’d need to get started sooner to use my 10 weeks wisely.

Add in the fact that I’ll be writing this book during summer (the season of major fun distractions!) & I knew a schedule was sorely needed:

While following this schedule, I will also be blogging 1-2x/week here @ VictoriaKlein.net, 2-3x/week for Ode Magazine, and 1-3x/week for another blog (to be announced soon!). I’m also be pitching & writing for magazines, as is customary. I shall also try to maintain a healthy eating & exercise plan (usually the 1st thing I sacrifice – not good!).

There is a light at the end of the tunnel: my husband is taking off the entire month of August (before he goes to Marines boot camp on September 13th) & we will be spending 1-2 weeks in San Francisco! We’ve already started making a list of all our favorite places to visit & people to see. More details in the coming months, but I can give you one hint: some of my time in SF will be spent promoting 27 Things to Know About Yoga.
