A Piece Of My Heart

Procrastination Reigned in May

Oophta ... (it's a MN thing) ... May was rough. I had all good intentions of keeping on track with my commitments, yet somewhere in the second week, it all went downhill. I didn't manage to write a single review, and really fell short on my short story writing goal. Now I'm super behind in the Musicology Anthology thing, but I'll try my best to catch up. Outside of WDC, I did have a few noteworthy things happen though - First, I completed my Environmental Education Certificate Second, I adopted another dog. And third, I got a raise at my job Hopefully the highs of those victories bleed into June, but since I'm already a week late in writing this entry, I'm not holding out too much hope.

As I alluded to in the beginning, the first half or so of May was fairly productive writing wise. I wrote three poems linked below. One of them has zero views still, sooooooooo, have a look, will ya?

I struggled to keep up with my reading goals, but I managed to pull it out right at the end. I did also keep the "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  running smoothly (I hope), and worked on a new method for getting more engagement in the Unofficial months. My goals this month are severely trimmed down again, even more so than last month to account for my drop in productivity. I need to focus on the most pressing writing priorities and maybe by completing those, I've get the motivation I need to get back to the long list of goals I had before.
