Next, I need to type up some reviews! I'm never behind on reviews, I always write them right away ... And yet, this past month I have let myself put off reviews to the point where I have about three or four sets of notes just sitting around, waiting to be typed into actual posts. And while I know that isn't a lot for some bloggers, for me it definitely is! I never get more than two reviews behind. Last week, I actually had to change my post schedule simply because I didn't have a review ready that I thought would be finished by then. (And I was too lazy to write it, still!)
My third weekend goal is to take some book photos. I've realized that posts on my new blog take much longer. Mostly, because it has made me more passionate about blogging again. I like my new ideas and I want to spend time on them. But also, pictures. I can only take them during the day, when there's sunlight. (At least, if I want a decent picture.) So while I can post reviews to this blog whenever, I have to be more careful about scheduling reviews on BookMatcher. I can't do them so last-minute, unless I have pictures ready beforehand. Which I will, because there is no way I will have reviews ready on time if I don't. I'm a procrastinator!
Finally, my last goal is to keep up with planning my novel for Camp NaNoWriMo. I've come up with some great ideas the last few days and I'm really getting to know my characters well, but I'm lacking some of the research I'll need to write the story -- and I don't want to be spending hours of writing time next month doing research I could have done now. I also need to develop some side characters I've been neglecting.
And that's all for me! What are your plans for the weekend? Is anyone else participating in Camp NaNoWriMo next month?
Good luck with your goals this weekend! I'm hoping to catch up with my reading, too. I've been in a reading slump since school ended. I'm also participating in Camp Nano in July! :D I don't know which story idea I'll work on yet but I'm really excited.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was reading a ton then suddenly a reading slump hit. I tried to fight it, but it won haha.
DeleteGood luck at Camp Nano! I'm super excited too -- the story I'm working on has been sitting around, waiting to be written for quite awhile now :)
I am thinking about participating in NaNoWriMo, because every time I write something I never finish it. But I don't know...good luck!
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope you have a great time if you do participate! I've only done it twice, in November, but never Camp Nano, so this will be a bit new for me :) It definitely helps you get some words in, if you stick with it!
DeleteCamp Nano is great because you can set your own word goals -- the November version is a set 50k, but if you'd rather do something smaller, you can. I've done 25k the past couple times. Good luck!
DeleteThat's true, Joy! I actually upped the word count to 60K for myself but I'm considering bringing it down during the month, if needed :)
