I’m a few days late as usual, as life is, as always, making me rather busy. A brief summary of my accomplishments:

Write three chapters/episodes of Astral Tide (one each week for the first three weeks of July). Done! I remembered just now I need to write an epilogue for the series next week, but then I’ll be done with this goal! That’s one out of three!

-Write four chapters in Beneath. Written nothing here so far. Stagnation.

-Finish editing Dark Aeons. Still no progress! Hooray for stagnation!

So, I’ve finished one goal out of three. Not bad! I also finished critiquing an excellent novel draft for someone (which I failed to put on my #writemotivation list) and learned some Arabic calligraphy! So this week hasn’t been a complete loss.

Coming up for the rest of August, I plan on reading some things, starting on a critique of another friend’s novel, and finally leaping back into writing – starting with an EsoTarot post tomorrow!

Well, it’s been a tough start of the month. Tougher than usual. I’ve been busy beyond belief for the past two weeks (hence the lack of an update last week), and am only now managing to get back to seriously writing. As I am not completely free of being busy yet, this update will be short. So far, my goals:

-Write three chapters/episodes of Astral Tide (one each week for the first three weeks of July). Finished two of these! We went on a brief one-week hiatus due to more than one of us being busy, so still one more week left here.

-Write four chapters in Beneath. Written nothing here so far. Stagnation.

-Finish editing Dark Aeons. I’ve made no progress here either.

Unfortunately, I really need to finish critiquing a certain novel for someone this week, so editing my own work and writing Beneath will have to wait for a little bit, unfortunately. Hopefully not too long though! Time to scurry off back to being busy!

That time of every other month is almost upon us, when I try to meet some arbitrary goals I set for myself in the course of one month. That’s right, it’s a #Writemotivation goal-check month! For more information, visit #Writemotivation founder K. T. Hanna‘s site here.

After my abysmal June Camp NaNoWriMo performance of 0 words, I hope to do much better for #Writemotivation. So, what do I want to do this month? I have set the following goals for myself:

-Write three chapters/episodes of Astral Tide (one each week for the first three weeks of July). I have already almost finished the first one of these as of this morning!
-Write four chapters in Beneath. Similar to other #Writemotivation goals I have had.
-Finish editing Dark Aeons. This is my primary priority at the moment.

Also, “unofficially,” I hope to finish critiquing a novel for someone, as well as do well on my upcoming GRE’s (on July 13).

Let’s see how well this works out!
