Update Thursday #43

Welcome to Update Thursday, my own personal meme of sorts where I post an update of the goings on at my blog, with reading, with writing, and beyond. Feel free to borrow the idea from me for your own bookish musings.

Reading...

Books I finished this week:

 Notes To Self by Avery Sawyer

Books I'm reading now (and some still):

I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith (Classics Challenge)

Beautiful by Amy Reed (TBR Pile Challenge)

Reasons To Be Happy by Katrina Kittle (TBR Pile Challenge)

53 of 1026 E.E. Cummings poems finished (39 this week)

Writing...

I started character profiles on index cards and took a few more notes. I've been spending more time reading than writing. I wanted to be ahead a little on reading (plus had two review requests to finish by the end of the month) so that I wouldn't get behind. Now that I am caught up and ahead, I'm going to dive into writing again. And when I get behind on my reading, I'm gonna say, "I don't care! I need to write!!!" and run away from my books and to my laptop.

I'm thinking of readjusting my blog schedule because sometimes writing the articles takes up a lot of my writing my novel time. On certain days off I'll do a bunch of blog scheduling at once and I'm set for another couple weeks. But it's coming back around and I'm doing the facepalm in frustration as I haven't written up any new articles. So, working on that blog balance. But, since I really want to finish a novel, that takes priority. Not that I'd give up my blog, because I could never do that. It's just time to change things up and make them simpler.




Until next time...
