January 2017 Dares (and New Year’s Resolutions)

[image error]

Wow. Can you believe that it’s 2017? I sure can’t. I mean, I can believe that it’s 2017 … I’m not, like, doubting its existence or anything, but … wow! 2016 was such an amazing year! Almost nothing went wrong. Almost everything went right.

But now we’ve got to move on to a new year. It isn’t 2016 any more. It’s 2017. Again, wow.

Time for a quick recap of what I accomplished in December.

Reading

Read five books. Check! I think I read something like ten … though I can’t be sure because I’m running late and the internet is bad (SNOWED IN!), so I’m not going to open a new tab and check Goodreads to find out.
But one of those has to be Ivy Introspective. Check! Read it through twice. So there.
Finish A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Check! Wow … such a good book … but the content. *sigh* VidAngel for books, guys. Someone’s gotta invent it …

Writing

Outline Interpreting Callie James. Failed. Sorry, but there just wasn’t time. Okay, you’re right; I’m never busy and there was plenty of time.
Finish writing Flowers. Failed. Uh … I wrote a little more, but …
Don’t even look at At Her Fingertips. Failed. I think I’m in love with this book. I literally downloaded it to my Kindle and read it for fun … and I wrote it. I am so creepy and narcissistic and … eesh.
Read through Ivy Introspective, doing some serious revising. Check! Twice, actually. I’m really pleased with the progress I made this last month.

Blogging
For Reveries:

Get back on schedule. Failed! Uh … I changed the schedule … so …
