Read-a-Thon #2 - Progress Post
date

newest »
My progress so far has been abysmal. I've done practically zero reading this week. I've only read a couple of dozen pages in total. My goal of catching up to my reading goal is getting further off everyday. Not even sure I'll finish this year.In more positive news, I've managed to reread 11 chapters of my work-in-progress manuscript in the name of editing. That's something at least, even if I do still have to do battle with writer's block once I reach the end.
