January... No February

Friday, 9 February 2024

 Is February the new January? I ponder as I check my goals from last month, and I have yet to make much of a dent in making them a reality. 

I did have a positive start to the new year; I've seen my best friend for dumplings, watched many new films, read a couple of books, and even made some progress on my witchy novel. I also decided that I will be publishing an e-book version of The Moon is a Lesbian once I figure out how to do that, and I need to write some more poems to add to it, too. So keep an eye out for that.

January was good to me; I had a life-changing epiphany and decided I couldn't wait for things to happen; I needed to be more proactive in getting things done. It sounds obvious, but I had let myself fall into a two-doom hole, and my sister's snap back to reality allowed me to pull myself out of that hole. So, I had the January blues, but I am better for it and have been sorting myself out. 

My January stats:

  • Films watched: 31, my top three being But I'm a Cheerleader, Last Night in Soho and Quiz Lady. I have a Letterboxed account if you fancy seeing what I watch. 
  • Books read: 3.
  • Days journaled: 16 days in total.
  • Words written (witchy novel): 2,000. Total word count so far: 13,000.
  • Meltdowns: The limit does not exist.

I am grateful for the month ahead; we are one month closer to spring. I am over Winter. I need flowers to come back, the sun to be around more and just tolerable outside temperatures. I've set some small goals for the upcoming month, such as reading 3 books, writing 10,000 words for my witchy novel, and writing a few more poems for the new version of The Moon is a Lesbian! 

This post was supposed to go live last week, but I got sick. Thankfully, after much sleep, many films, and lots of Lemsip, I'm back on my feet. I'm writing the first week of February off and starting on my goals on Monday!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend! See you next week with a poem I've been working on!
