Goodbye November!

I don't really know where November went. Like any other month this year (see the Good Place tumblr piece at the end of this post), it happened way too quickly but also took forever.

Maybe December can just be the former.

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) I think I wrote a grand total of like 7 days, and three of them were cheating. I quickly gave up on NaNoWriMo (it's too hard to try to focus on writing when you work 10 hour days and literally don't have any brain power to do anything else---and I just haven't been able to focus fully).

(2) Books read this month: 11. (we're not talking about my half-started/half-finished piles or my TBR piles, okay?).

(3) Two Moves Ahead query-waiting. Still waiting....

(4) Posts this month (including this one): 11.

(5) Like October, there were days were I tried to eat better. There were days when I just didn't care. And mostly, I was okay with it. There were a few days were I hated my body because of it, but those feelings didn't last nearly as long as they did in the past. Unlike October, in November, I did manage to exercise a few times (got myself a stationary bike--I can read and cycle; two birds, one stone).

Anyone still holding onto their resolutions?

Any exciting December reads?
