Goodbye April

So April, you were longer than March. That's fine. I guess. Can't really do anything about it now.
May, it's your turn.


Just like 2019, I wanted to make some resolutions and (try to) stick to them. As a reminder, here were my updated resolutions.


2020 Resolutions:

     (1) Write [almost] every day

     (2) Don't stop reading

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

     (4) Share love of books/writing
     (5) Be kinder to myself

(1) EVERY DAY. Well, every day but one. And it was kind of a really rough day.

(2) Books read this month: 0. Yup. But I wrote every day.

(3) Holy freaking fuck. Hold on to your hats people. In April, I wrote/added 121 pages to my manuscript.

I finished the final pen-to-paper to my computer edits. Before edits, my manuscript, in all of its shitty-first-drafts glory was 189 pages. It's now 451 pages.

Now to just do that a few more times (bleh!). I'm going to also make a few more really major changes (because I hate myself). But I have like three (or six) checklists and pages of editing tips typed up for this new round of edits. Stay tuned.

(4) Posts this month (including this one): 8.

(5) April wasn't that great eating well or exercising. But I kind of said screw it and did whatever I wanted (ate whatever I wanted). Lots of mudslides. Yup.


Anyone still holding onto their resolutions?


Any exciting May reads?
