September 2018: Thrills and Exhaustion

I cannot believe September is almost over! I tend to lose track of time, but I do feel I blinked in July and suddenly October is knocking. This month, in particular, has been filled with new experiences and wonders; I am honestly exhausted and I could use a solid two weeks’ slumber. I would also be perfectly fine with not leaving my apartment for the month of October. Alas, I would probably lose my job and my home if I did that, a girl can only dream.

Instead of focusing on all the things I do not want to do, I thought I would focus on all the positive experiences that have happened this month. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and I do not feel any regrets; I only feel tired.

Blogging and Social Media

• Made several new friends!
• This month marked my sixth month blogging
• I was nominated for three blogging awards (Thank you Sophia Ismaa, Em, and Laura Spoonie!)
• Made 200 followers on Twitter, which is still weird
• Every day this month I have written a 25-word story on Twitter
• I made a Facebook for some odd reason, but it exist *shrug*

Life

• I stood my ground at work and firmly set boundaries
• I took an actual vacation and did not check my e-mails.
• Traveled to New Orleans
• I saw Hamilton and Childish Gambino back to back.
• Got a tattoo on a whim
• I entered an actual flash fiction contest- fingers crossed for placing top 10.
• Crafted a draft for a children’s book

October goals and expectations

• Continue to work on not taking myself too seriously
• Write a new chapter for my work in progress (I can say that now!)
• Craft of cover letter
• Engage more
• Keep blogging
• Ignore the doubtful voices in my head
• Avoid trick-or-treaters

I hope September has treated you well!

Cheers to a low-key October!
