It’s a quiet chilly morning in San Francisco, and I’m glad Thanksgiving break is coming to an end. I spent the last few days reading, writing, and watching shows, and I’m well rested.
I focused on my daily writing, floundering a bit whenever I thought of NaNoWriMo, but I didn’t want to put too much pressure on myself and have a bad time.
I’m proud I stuck with my daily writing routine and pumped out about 18,600 words. It’s better than nothing! Now that I’m looking ahead toward what I want to achieve by the end of this year. I’ve decided I want to hit my goal of writing 93,000 words for my daily writing routine in December.
What else have I been up to? Working on my Etsy Shop – The Happy Poet Studio. I created a few products this week that I had fun designing and have a few more ideas that I want to try out. I love the research that goes into products, keywords, and optimizing my shop. I’ve got a long ways to go but it’s a fun way to unwind.
What else have I been up to?
I watched the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off animated series, and it was a blast. If you’ve read the comics and loved the 2010 live action movie, I highly recommend you check out the series.
I’m reading A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab. It feels a bit like reading Howl’s Moving Castle, but there are a few problems with the writing I’ve found already. The concept is fascinating, and so far, I’m planning on finishing the book.
Oh, and I finally hit Level 37 in Hogwarts Legacy…cool.
Are you reading anything fun right now? Do you have a daily or monthly writing goal? I want to hear from you. Leave a comment below and let’s chat.
Happy Poet, Alina
