Goodbye July

July...seriously? 
August...how?

But really, how?

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 

Again, this month was...bad. I still got nothing done.

August really will be better.

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

(2) I sucked at this, in general, all month...yup. 

(3) I read...some in June. I think I read about 2 books in total. Which isn't a lot...at all.

(4) My manuscript has ~153 pages done (and counting). That's about 0 more than last month...so, yeah.

(5) Posts in July: 1 (that includes this one...yup, really).

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 August reads?

Anything I should check out?

But seriously, give me something addictive to read. My book count is staggeringly low for this time of the year. It needs help. I need help. Send help.

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

"Goodbye, July!"

"Hello, August!" (even though its already here)

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