Monday Check In

Last week...

Writing Related: Ugh! I am doing terrible at Camp NaNoWriMo. I was hoping to get between 20k and 30k written this month. At the rate I'm going, I'll be lucky to hit the 20k goal. I won't get much writing done as both my mother and I have appointments that will eat into my writing time three days this week.

What I'm Reading:  I just finished my last book so this week I'll probably just look through a few magazines one of my sisters brought to me. I need to go to the library.

Random Thoughts:  I picked up a couple of journals/notebooks last weekend while I was out doing errands. I have at least ten to fifteen that I haven't even opened, much less used but I bought two more anyway. If I see a new journal or notebook that's cute and reasonably priced, I have to buy it. It's like a compulsion.😁

Monday Check In

Last week...

Writing Related: Augh! Last week was a terrible writing week. I only got about half of the number of pages written that I wanted/planned to. So many unexpected things popped up that ate into my writing time. I'm about 500 words short of reaching my goal of hitting the 30k mark by the end of January. I'll get those written this week along with my usual weekly word count goal.

What I'm Reading: I started Atomic Habits by James Clear over the weekend. I'm not too far into it yet, but right now, I'm not sure how I feel about it. 

Random Thoughts: I can't believe it's February already. Not that I'm complaining. The faster we get through the winter months and are done with snow, the happier I am. January usually drags on forever for me so I'm surprised how quickly the month went by this year.

These crocuses popped up in my yard last spring. I'm looking forward to seeing them again this year.
