Welcome to the second writing club update! (See the previous update here.) I hope you’ve had a pleasant month, and are managing to stay cool (this is me presuming northern hemisphere anyway). One short month ago, a month seemed like such a long time. But now I see it for a just a couple of weekends, and a sprinkling of free evenings.

I’m keeping this update brief, since I’m behind on my own goals. But it’s raining here, and I don’t have to go to work (at my job anyway) today, so I’m excited to get back to it! May you be similarly blessed with dreary weather and lack of responsibilities on this Monday.

Participants

As always, there is no pressure to have completed your goals. But sharing how your month went is super beneficial not just personally, but for the rest of us. Additionally, participants and guests are encouraged to chime in with any comments or questions they may have on project projects, writing club, etc.

    This month was fairly productive for me :) I got another chapter drafted for my book, some new scene ideas written up, & did some restructuring of the outline.

    I’m worried this month won’t be as productive, my moving date is 3 days away, my sister is visiting, & I start work again at the end of the month. Its going to be busy & im not sure how much time ill be able to find for writing.

    My realistic goal for the month is to get my writing space set up in the new house. My lofty goal is to have another chapter drafted & a more structured outline for the first section of the book.

    I’m looking forward to seeing what other people were able to get done this month :)

      Oh I love the idea of having both realistic/lofty goals! I think I’ll try that out for myself going forward.

      Also wow, it sound like you had a very productive month. Given what you’ve shared, it seems natural that August will not be as productive, but then sometimes a creative, like, geyser comes out of nowhere and you find yourself pouring out page after page in a matter of hours. So you never know!

      In any case sounds like it will be an eventful month, so I will look forward to hearing how it all shakes out. :)

        Yeah lol, it’s nice to have two goals so I can stay motivated even when I know I won’t reach my big goal :p

        & will any luck I’ll have one of those inspired sessions, it always feels so nice to be locked into the flow of writing
