I reached two big milestones during March 2025, and they’ve combined to give me a boost when it comes to my writing work.
Standing in the Dark
While February started out strong, it didn’t stay that way. In March, I’m giving myself an incentive and watching for a pattern.
Oh, wow. Did I ever drop the ball this month. But I have goals and a plan for February.
December was my best month of 2024 in terms of word count. Now I just need to keep the momentum going into 2025 as I recover from the holidays and some minor surgery.
I’m bummed that I missed my goal for the month, but I was steady about what I already had going. So all is not lost.
After a really strong September, things got a little weird during October. But I’m back up to my normal writing pace now.
If I had to give a one-sentence evaluation of my writing during August 2024, I think I’d say something along the lines of, “you win some, you lose some.” But it hasn’t been enough to discourage me; rather, it has given me a reason to keep my momentum going.
