I woke up this morning, June 1, and realised that YES summer is here and half the year is gone. What the hell happened to those nice little New Year's Resolutions I made back when snow was on the ground and we were all freezing our rear ends off? I wanted to lose some weight. Okay, I've done some of that but not enough so that anyone would really notice. The big resolution however was to write at least a book a month. Ummmm. What the HELL was I thinking?So far the number is four. Okay, that's not bad but it certainly isn't what I'd hoped for. Instead of writing steadily as I'd wanted that pesky 'real life' got completely in the way. Granted they were very big real life issues so I can life with that. So I reckon when next January rolls around I'll not be quite so ambitious. A little more realism is in order. There actually is nothing at all wrong with writing six books in a year or seven, is there. And yes, sometimes unexpected things happen in life and we have to deal. Dealing is what we DO, after all. In the end, we sigh, shake our heads at all that New Year optimism and do what must be done. There's no shame in that.
In other news, Drilled (April, EC) was named by the lovely Lila at Two Lips Reviews to receive their Reviewers Choice for the month of June. YAY!!!! What a great honor. Check it out HERE!

Yeah, I haven't really met my goals either. It's rather depressing. lol.
Good luck on meeting your goals by the end of the year. You can do it!
I haven't met my goals...but there's still time! LOL
Well, that's cool! Congrats!
Four so far? Wow, I'm impressed! And with all of life getting in the way. You're doing great. Have to leave a little wiggle room for the glitches in life.
I was sitting back taking stock today and you know? I don't think I've done too badly considering things. Don't know why I can't do four more. BUT, if I don't, I'm NOT going to stress it. I've been learning this year that the world will not end if a self imposed deadline isn't met. Other things and people in our lives are more important. Maybe I should remember that when I'm being hard on myself. We all should.
