I started the year with an ambitious set of goals and the year is halfway over! How am I doing?
Writing: Finish high school memoir draft (50,000 words) and revise YA novel: Rice Paper Superheroes.
Progress: Still drafting the high school memoir: 37,500 words. I'm using July as a Camp NaNoWriMo to get this done. Then I'll I need to finish drafting Rice Paper Superheroes.
Reading: Read and write short annotations for 50 books in the year.
Progress: I'm still behind. I have 19 finished and a bunch of these were long, non-YA titles so I'm ok with being a little behind. Americanah and A Tale for the Time Being were worth the extra weeks I took to read them. I still have a solid month of summer to catch up. That means 10 books this month which is ambitious, but doable.
Publishing: Submit work at least once a month and publish one blog post per week.
Progress: I suck at submitting. I don't know what I need to do to get going on this. Any suggestions? As for blog posts this is number 19 so I'm just a little behind.
Fitness: Run 500 miles in the year.
Progress: Yes! I'm ahead on this one. Granted, I'm walking most of these, but still I'm getting the miles in with 261 miles through June.
All of the goals are still within reach. Just have to keep putting in work!
