October's assignment from Ali was to choose a battle we wanted to fight or something we were celebrating and write about it. I considered this carefully - I wasn't really prepared to fight any battles, but I was game for a challenge, so I changed the template slightly - here's what I wrote:
So I did get my camera out of the bag. And I did load the DVD on my laptop and TRIED to play it. I am not particularly computer savvy and can't for the life of me figure out why DVD's won't play on my laptop (and yes, it has a DVD player and 2 different DVD software programs installed). In any event, I spent my free time on Friday trying to get the DVD to play, to no avail. But I don't consider this a failed challenge!
Today I am home sick (called out of work) with a miserable head cold (sore throat, can't breathe, can't talk). So once this post goes live, I am going to go watch at least one chapter of that DVD on our television, with my camera in hand! I discovered that the DVD has like 50 chapters, so actually getting through it may take some time!
And here's my FOCUS tracker for September:

What a great challenge. I need to go watch the PSE class videos I bought - some time!

Great idea of explaining the blank days. I too had trouble with the battle wording and mentally swapped to challenge :)
I need to learn more about my camera too. Great inspiration.
Love the page you did for the month.
like how you reframed the wording. great idea. love your pages too.
there are lots of great resources out there for learning photography. a couple that i found most helpful are the website digital-photography-school.com and the book by bryan peterson 'understand exposure'.
good luck next month and i hope you get to feeling better soon.
Look at all the stars that ARE on the chart! I'm having a lot of trouble getting to the classes and videos I want to see. I know why, but I'm still feeling guilty about it. I need to surrender too.
A great take on One Little Word for this month, and hoping that you find the single focus really helpful. I was actually very impressed by how many stars you had on your chart!
Love the watercolors and washi tape. It doesn't even look like the same template. As always your tracker always inspires me. Hope you feel better soon!
A great take on this month's suggestion from Ali. I was super impressed by how many stars you acquired!
Hooray for being behind in online classes!!! I'm in the same boat.
I just love your Sept. tracking page AND that you water colored the border of the main page. I am always so impressed with your creativity. Just lovely.
You are doing such a great job keeping up with OLW! I love the way your pages turned out . . . of course they looked better in real life! :>)
