Welcome back!

Here were my goals for the month of August:

1. Donate blood. — Accomplished!
2. Celebrate my birthday! — Accomplished!
3. Recap my Camp NaNoWriMo July 2022 efforts. — Accomplished!
4. Write my annual Reflections On My Birthday blog post. — Accomplished!
5. Publish one Book Review. — Did not accomplish yet.
6. Read before bed at least 2-3 times per week. — Semi-Achieved.
7. Continue my writing sprints and work on book #4. — Semi-Achieved.

I was able to donate at our last drive. My iron was off the charts, yay! I couldn’t quite fill the bag, but it happens.

My birthday was wonderful. Relaxing. I’m glad I took a couple of days off work to have a long weekend.

I was very successful with Camp NaNoWriMo July 2022! I enjoyed working on my third book. I felt like I was getting close to the end!

I celebrated on August 21st. After several more writing sprints, I called the first draft of my third book finished. It clocks in at 109,000 words. The most I’ve ever written!

I haven’t started working on book #4 yet, but hopefully soon!

I’ve started reading again at night. My mom gave me another book for my birthday, and I’ve been enjoying that one.
