Sundays Are for Writing #199

This week, I wrote exactly nothing. Family emergency that took up most of Monday, and I went on vacation on Wednesday, so….nothing.

Happy writing!

Sundays Are for Writing #196

This was a very skimpy writing week: only one book review. I was out of town last weekend, and I didn’t have much reading luck this week, with two DNFs in a row. Better luck next time. I’ve committed to much fewer reviews for the rest of the year, so more time for reading for fun.

I only wrote two book reviews this week, but considering which two books they were, I’m okay with that: Spells for Forgetting, by Adrienne Young and The Winners, by Fredrik Backman. Both of these were excellent reads, but I was up until 2 a.n. finishing Backman’s third Beartown novel. So, so good.

Sundays Are for Writing #188

This was an okay writing week: I wrote two book reviews…and worked 5 straight days (my “normal schedule is long days on MWF, and a shorter (8-hour) day on Tuesdays. Soon I’ll be starting a M-F schedule, and we’ll see how that affects my writing—and reading.

This was an okay writing week. Work was really busy–and long days–so I didn’t have much reading time. Three book reviews written.

This week was marginally better than last week: I wrote one book review. Read almost nothing due to schedule craziness and family being in town. It’s all good.

It’s been another week of nearly nonexistent writing and reading. I wrote too book reviews and read one book (I know, right?). Work hours are still long and hard, and I’m prioritizing sleep.

Sundays are for Writing #169

This week was a much better writing week than last week, though not as good as I’d hoped: three book reviews written. Another demanding work week with too little time for reading.

This hasn’t been a writing week. At all. I’ve written exactly nothing, nor have I even had time to do any reading. Way too much going on, but I’m hoping this next week will be better.

Happy writing!

Sundays are for Writing #164

This has NOT been a good writing week: only one book review written. My days on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at work are now 13-14 hours, plus a one-hour commute both ways, leaving me very little time (ore energy) for writing (or reading, for that matter). Hopefully things will get better soon.

Happy writing!
