February has been a good writing month despite the last week being a bit emotionally rocky. I don’t know if it’s postpartum, or just my normal ups and downs, but I’ve been a bit rough, and that’s okay.

Overall, I am super happy with my progress. I am slowly finding ways to make time to get my butt in the chair and write. Mostly, this is between the hours of 10:30PM-3:30AM. It’s slow going, but I am improving.

Here are a few things I was able to accomplish this past month:

• Wrote and submitted 3 poems
• Received 2 rejections
• Posted on the blog each week
• Attended my online critique group
• Read 1 book
• Wrote a flash fiction piece

And here are my goals for the upcoming month:

• Polish my picture book manuscript
• Read 4 books
• Post every week on the blog
• Submit 3 pieces of work
