Monthly Reflection

First Published: 2022 December 1

Draft 1

It’s the final month of 2022, which means that it’s my final monthly reflection for the year. I didn’t really set any goals in my first post of the year, but I did mention five things I was excited for then. I’ll reflect on those at the end of the year

My goals last month were:

1. Blog every day

2. Stretch every day.

3. Write a poem every day.

4. Finish NaNoWriMo successfully

5. Make progress towards catching up on BiaY

6. At least two entries in 24².

1. I blogged 13 times last month, which isn’t my best job ever. Hopefully this month goes better.

2. I stretched three times that I recorded, which is still progress technically.

3. I wrote a poem a day until the 22 or 23, when I abruptly stopped.

4. I did it!

5. I’m much closer now, though still not there

6. I only added one new entry.

That’s honestly slightly better than I normally do. I realized that I was using time I would often use for blogging for NaNoWriMo, which meant I didn’t want to blog as much. This month I’d like to write at least as much, but I guess I’ll have to see if I can do better about still blogging. Stretching remains a goal of mine that feels so unapproachable for some reason. Writing a poem a day did a lot to force me to write, though in addition to the prose I was doing, I don’t know if I still need it right now. NaNoWriMo was fun, and now my brother has pointed out how easily I could output a large sum of writing. I’m behind on 24², which is sad, but I guess encouragement for me to start doing things faster.

My goals for this month are:

1. Blog every day. This month is the month, I can feel it.

2. Stretch every day. ibid.

3. Write another 50000 word book. I saw that it was very possible last month, so I’d like to show myself that it is again.

4. Catch up on BiaY. If I want to finish this year, I need to be caught up by the end of the month.

Time to see how I do!
