Plans for the rest of the year

  • Finish all my reading challenges
  • Host a few more giveaways
  • Have more posts/reviews
  • Have more guest posts
  • Finish writing my novel
  • Publish my novel
  • Have a blog tour for my novel

That's the gist of it anyway. I'm still pushing myself on the publishing my novel thing. I am determined to see this through! Of all the goals I have set, that's the one I want to reach the most.

~FOLLOWER SURVEY 2012~

As promised, here's the follower survey for you all to take. I just want to get some honest feedback from my followers. See how my blog is now, what I'm doing right, what I'm doing wrong, how I can improve, etc. Just to let you know, it is anonymous, I don't have a spot for you to put your name or email... So PLEASE be completely honest and tell me what you think. I want to know. ^_^

So... how was your first half of the year?
Have you set any goals for the rest of the year?

  1. It looks like you're doing really well on your challenges. I only signed up for two and still haven't done a thing for them. :(

  2. Looking at your reading challenge stats makes me cringe! I think I've read about 3 books for all of my reading challenges. I am so lazy. Love that you're just like me and have about 7 or 8 book ideas on the go!

    1. I'm surprised I've gotten as far as I have. The only reason why is because I forced myself to read more for the challenges, plus I've been working less and reading more. Lol. I know! I love having all these ideas. It's so much fun! :)
