Plans for 2022

Since I got sick a few years ago, I've been struggling to find a balance between all my ideas and the amount of time and energy I have to work on them.

New Year Plans

I know I'm not the only one who hesitates to make any kind of big plans for this new year, considering just how ridiculously unpredictable things were in 2020.

July Wrap Up

Send out at least 1 query every week This did not happen. I was so busy, I didn't have the time to invest in it. You would think sending query letters would be a quick thing to do, especially since it's mostly copying and pasting, but it usually takes me about 15-30 minutes per email,… Continue reading July Wrap Up

Blast from the Past

Lately I've been going through and cleaning up a few things around the blog. Mostly, this means fixing some tagging issues with older blog posts--like, the really, REALLY old stuff from the first year of this blog, back when it was still on Blogger and I was in college. It's been kind of fun going… Continue reading Blast from the Past

Be active for 30 minutes 5x per week. Let's not talk about this one. I've been sick on and off since December, both mentally and physically, and the weather hasn't helped.

June Goal Update

1. Do something active for 20 minutes  5 times a week May was...not great on this front. I still get bored with my work outs way too easily. I'm in a rut, I guess, since I don't see results even when I meet my goal for weeks on end. 2. Travel No excursions planned for… Continue reading June Goal Update
