Update Day: Missed It by That Much

Sigh. One of these days, I’ll be able to actually get everything done in time. It would be so very nice. In case you guys are wondering what I’m on about, yesterday was the last Friday of the month, so that means it’s time for another Update Day. And because I’m an absolutely terrible blog hop host, I didn’t remember I was supposed to post an update until it was way too late for me to post an update. *Eye roll*

So how am I doing? Well, I actually did great for most of the month, but the wheels fell off a little bit this past week. I got distracted from my writing work, but you know what? I actually don’t regret it. This past week I gave myself permission to do things just because I want to instead of because I have a goal to achieve a certain thing. Which was actually so refreshing.

Maybe it’s a bit bad because it put me behind, but for now, I’m just going to go with it until the end of the month. My brain obviously needs the break.

At the same time, I’ve also got a lot of work done on the freelance side, and despite the fact that I’m behind, I still manage to write/edit over 40k words so far. So regardless of how I do for the rest of the month, I’m going to call this a win.

In short, I’m really proud of myself. I’m really making leaps and bounds when it comes to not only getting things done, but also on knowing when to ease off the acceleration. It’s a bit unfortunate that it meant that I didn’t quite get everything on time at the end of the month, though.

But there’s one good piece of news for me, though, and it’s that I’m definitely starting to pull things back together, and any and all progress I might be making counts as a win.

How are you guys doing?
