Hello. I hope you are doing well. I know today is April fools, so I hope you had some laughs.
Fun fact, April actually holds my birthday! So, this month I’m actually taking some time off for my birthday and just to relax. So this month is going to be a little more light in terms of goals because of that. I also think it’s a good thing to do because the last three months have been very productive for me, and I don’t want to burn myself out by trying to ride that high.
I will encourage all of you to take some time for yourself, especially right now. Even if it’s only for like an hour or two today, just focus on yourself and relax. Play a video game, read a book, rent that movie you’ve been wanting to watch for a while. Take a little break. You don’t want to burn yourself out.
So, my goals for the month are:
- I want to edit the entirety of Part 2 of Amilia. The piece is broken up into three parts. I got through all of part 1 last month, so I’m hoping to get through part 2 this month. It might be a bit of a stretch because I think part 2 is actually the longest part of them all. We’ll see.
- I would like to write a Quest this month as well. Last month I wrote the first one, and I think now that I have the ball rolling the rest should be easier now that I have that basis to work off of.
- Because I don’t have another project to be outlining or writing this month, I’m going to switch gears and start work on Crows in earnest. This month I want to get both the map for the world and the character profiles done for this. I’m hoping this will get done because I’m going to be spending some time out of the house this month, so I think it will be better to be working on paper.
- Lastly, I would like to read 4 books this month. I don’t see this being an issue at all. Even if I don’t read any books this month I know I’m still on track to have read 50 books by the end of the year. So I’m very happy about that.
As I said, a pretty light month this time around. Because of that I’m pretty confident that I can get all of this done this month. Or, at least, I’m hoping I can.
Also, please do not worry about me. While I’m out of the house I’m going to be careful. I’m not going to be interacting with anyone outside of my bubble. I am so paranoid that my default when I leave the house is bubble boy. I will be fine.
That’s all I have for you right now. What are your goals for the month? What’s something you’re hoping you can get done in April? I’d love to know if you’d like to share.
I hope you are having a wonderful day. And if it’s not wonderful, I do hope it gets better. Stay safe, and I will see you next time.
