WRITING...but not BLOGGING

At the beginning of 2019, I set some pretty lofty goals which I bravely outlined right here on this very page!

I guess I was thinking that if I was bold enough to share my intention of writing on a regular basis on this space, I may actually stay focused enough to do it!

Here’s a progress report:

I have not nearly “ blogged” as much as I had intended, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been writing!

I have actually been slowly plugging away at my 35-year “bucket list” dream of writing a book!

It’s been a fascinating process, filled with reflection and an up-welling of memories that I had not considered in decades!

I have been researching the process of writing a book, publishing a book, and promoting a book.

I have watched YouTube videos and listened to dozens of podcasts from authors and publishers!

And… I have been WRITING!

Yes, I have finally been writing!

Although my journey is still in the beginning stages, I am more than 9000 words into my first manuscript!

50 pages!

I have loads of work work to do, but it is the process that is beginning.

So, while this specific part of my literary life has been a little “hit and miss”, I finally have been going through a stretch of time I don’t consider a complete disappointment to myself.

However, I do need to do a better job trying to write more often in tiny little chunks on this blog, because I’m finding the true purpose of this blog for me is to provide progress reports, even if only to myself!

For the first time in a years, I would say the report is that I’m finally “Making Progress”...at least 9,000 words worth!
