Goodbye May

May...sigh.

June...sigh (x2).

Here I am again checking in with my 2019 resolutions:

(1) Keep learning

(2) Write [almost] every day

(3) Don't stop reading

(4) Complete something (e.g. a manuscript)

(5) Get [a little] professional 

This month was...pretty good. I didn't read 100 books, but my book count was still darn good. I didn't write 1000 great pages, but I did write a bunch of pretty good ones.

(1) Again, no real "evidence" of this to share. 

(2) Near the end of the month I started to get better at this, working on #4. 

(3) I read...some in May. I think I read about 4 books in total. Which isn't a lot but...(see point 4)

(4) My manuscript has ~153 pages done (and counting). That's about 40 more than last month, all done in the last two weeks or so, too. Which didn't feel like a lot at first, but wow 40 pages. Not to brag (imma brag), but I'm awesome. And my doc is starting to look more like a book. I've figured out a new method and new techniques, and it's working. Yay, writing. And, I'm sorry, but I'm going to say it, I'm just really proud of myself.

(5) Posts in May: 14 (that includes this one).

I'm going to (try) to do this at the end of every month, or close to it (that is, if I remember, and my life isn't too too crazy at that time).

What are your big June reads?

Anything I should check out?

As we say at the daycare I work at during circle time:

"Goodbye, May!"

"Hello, June!"

It sounds silly, but just imagine 6-10 two year olds repeating that after you. It could make almost anyone smile.
