Okay, so wrapping up August with the ‘Do You Have a Goal’ blog hop or the Big Dreams hoppity hop! Hosted by Misha Gericke and Beth Fred, the blog hop features 19 of us dreamers reaching for some pretty big, wacky dreams! Some of us have been at it for a year, and though we have 4 more years of goal-making--the blog hop is a 5-year venture--there have already been astounding accomplishments coming from other bloggers!
Of course it's never too late! You’re always free to join—the more the crazier,
right? Check out details HERE.
My big crazy dream is to hit one million words of completed
projects. I read somewhere that it takes one million bad words to get one good
word out. Well closing up the 2/3rd of the year and at 168K of that
goal I’d say all those words weren’t ALL bad.
Even after completing my own version of NoWriMo this month
after I decided to sit out on July’s Camp NaNo.
I finished that project, Bad-Blooded
Billionaire a few days ago and I’m still coming down from the up-down
emotional roller coaster. I also chose to document that journey through a blog
series. You can find those posts here under the tab ‘Guess What?!’ above.
During the coming few months I’ll be starting my school and
I’m going to be diving back into revising Bad-Blooded
Billionaire. I don’t want to load myself with too much work, so I’ll be
picking away at revisions/rewriting.
A couple weeks ago I celebrated my one-year blogiversary, and I kinda did a brief post where I looked back a bit at some of the goals I'd set and how close I've come to them a year later. But it doesn't even take a year to change. This past month showed me that passion + determination go a LONG way. I mean who would have thought I could write a novel in a month?
Just totally crazy--which works because that's what this blog hop is all about!

As for my reading goals for 2014, I set out to read AND
review 30 books.
I’m happy to say I hit the reading portion of that goal last
month, and I’m closing in on catching up to reviews. I have one more review (my
30th!) that I’ll be putting up sometime this weekend, and another on
the backburner.
I still have plans to read a bit, but I’ll be saving most of
that for my school books. Not so much leisure reading will take place this fall.
But I am looking forward to September and another Update Day
post and I’ll make sure I have something to write in this space.
Until then, enjoy the last bits of summer and let’s send it
off well!
Sounds like you are making some good progress. Keep it up! :)
ReplyDeleteYou did great this month. It's always great to see that people are accomplishing the things they set out to do.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've done great things this year, and in particular in the last month. :) I write a review of every book I finish, which is every book I start as well. Means I sometimes have to review books I disliked. But I put them on GoodReads, and always manage to find something nice to say, even about books I mostly didn't like. It's rare that I give a book less than 3 out of 5 stars, 'cause I usually don't mind what I've read.
ReplyDeleteI love doing NaNos. It occurred to me the other day that November isn't far off. Insane. I really need to get cracking with my current editing project and FINISH before November.
