September, take it a bit slower now, please.
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 went better. I mean not my best, but a lot better than I have been doing.
(1) Again, no real "evidence" of this to share.
(2) I did better. 17-20 pages written. Sounds better typed out like that, makes me feel more accomplished then I actually was
(3) I read 6-7 books in August (including the first 3 Percy Jackson books again (yes, I caved)).
(4) So I switched manuscripts. I didn't abandon my "new/2019" project, just set it aside for a while. I picked up my project from 2017. Have some new ideas and some interesting stories to tell. Before I started writing this month my "new/2019" text had 164 pages (I think), and now it has 166 pages. Before My "old/2017" text has 189 pages, and now it has 204-206 pages. Progress. Slow (yes) and steady (meh).
(5) Posts in August: 9 (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 September reads?
Anything I should check out?
As we say at the daycare I work at during circle time:
"Goodbye, August!"
"Hello, September!"
It sounds silly, but just imagine 6-10 two year olds repeating that after you. It could make almost anyone smile.
