Hey, y'all, welcome back to my blog, today I need to recap my summer and explain some things.
So a few posts ago I shared my summer goals... well if you can believe it the summer is over, and while I didn't complete many of my goals, I am proud of my summer.
So let's recap!
Goal #1 - Finish a Book Series
Goal #2 - Make a Writing Routine
Goal #3 - Post a Monthly Recap
Goal #4 - Hit 50 Subscribers!!!!
Goal #5 - Finish the first draft of "A Summer Away"
So did I complete any of these? No, well sort of... XD
But first I would like to say that I'm sorry for not following through with some of these commitments.
The first I didn't even come close to completing... I'm not a big reader so... XD But I'm going to try reading more this fall, especially with school and everything.
The second one I realized wasn't realistic to my life, my life is constantly chaotic, and putting anything into a routine is impossible so I usually write when I get the chance. That being said I was pretty productive with my writing this summer.
*Coughs* hope you weren't holding your breath for the third one... Yeah, I struggled to honestly find an interesting way to talk about my summer, and in the end, I just never got around to it. I do hope to do some life blogs every now and then in the following months.
This one is clearly going to take longer XD so we'll continue to hold out for it.
So this book was my first project and I put it in high priority at the start of the year, but with all my other fanfics, it hasn't really been worked on. Plus my writing has grown a lot so I might debate about changing it a little.
But I've been trying to focus on my novels also, so again I'm not sure when it will be finished.
Alright, it's time to talk about my summer and future plans for this blog and my life.
I've grown a lot this summer, with my youth group bible study through Mark and the sermons at camp, my faith is stronger than ever.
I've also gotten back into my exercising and stretching, along with finding a new hobby only a few days ago, Archery!! I'm terrible at it but I hope to get better, and maybe earn the title of... Hawkeye.
Softball has also taken a high priority, I play pitcher and this was my best season by far, but there are still things to work on. I hope to improve in the off year.
Family trips and camping have also been a fun highlight of my year.
So yeah that's my summer in a nutshell XD
Changes for the blog
I hope to make this blog more personal to me and make this place more my vibe, I'm not sure what will change but things will change.
I hope to continue giving tips, but I also want to do writing updates and rants about my projects on here too.
I hope for this blog to point toward me as well as my writing, and to make this more me.
And above all of that, I want it to point to God.
Thanks for reading!!!!!!!
I hope this cleared some things up and I can't wait to see where the next months take this blog!!
