I literally just sat down to create a plan for the next 6 weeks and bought the DIY MFA book on Thriftbooks just so I can do this. I have 4 6-week sessions scheduled over the next 6 months, with 3 2-week breaks in between. Girl, you just tricked my ADHD brain into wanting to learn again.

This is brilliant thank you. And yes, aquiring writing craft resources for me can be a lot like buying exercise videos in the 2000s. As you said, buying isn't doing!

I have a problem with loving to learn alongside my "Ooh, shiny!" syndrome, as evidenced by my expense list for taxes, which showed just how many courses and books I bought last year (including your Page Turner Planning). Some of them I'd even forgotten about! So today and tomorrow, my task will be to list everything I've got, choose some particular topics, and make a DIY MFA plan, Thanks, Ines!

I really like the idea of having a structure and deliverables- makes it far more manageable

Im a huge fan of sketching out learning acquisition goals and implementation, it guides my drive time university.

I'm verrryyyy slowwlllyyy going through Theodora Taylor's Universal Fantasy Butter workbook. I already took her Butter Blurb class but I may need to revisit since I haven't written a blurb in months and I'm already rusty. Then, I'll try writing a blurb!

This is a great way to breakdown things! I have often had a pile of unused resources sitting in a corner of my office.

This is such a great idea!

Oh, I love this idea! Me and shiny new "educational" objects have a complicated relationship. 😂
