I didn't read many books in April. I have been focused on blogging and business. But I did enjoy what I read. One trade publication, one political history book, and one historical drama.
April is over and it's time to look back on the month I have. It has been mainly business and blog writing. Not much reading or fiction writing.
I wanted to touch base with you all and let you know that there have been several back-dated articles submitted to the blog. These are articles that I had written for my previous blog or for Medium. I decided to keep the original publishing dates, but move the content over to the new blog.
This month I wasn't able to get much reading. I thought February was bad. I was only able to get through four books this month. Two were good and two weren't. I am falling behind in my goal. I need to find those books that grip me. That won't let me put them down. I keep get stuck with boring books.
February posed a sort of reading slump for me. Maybe because I read so many books in January, or maybe because February is the shortest month. I didn't read as much this month. On the bright side, what I did read was of much better quality. Four four-star and only one two-star.
We shouldn’t get distracted by others when we are working as writers from home. It’s not fair to us or our family.
Coming up with ideas is easy for writers to do. We all have a ton of ideas in our notebooks. But lots of those ideas go to waste. Have you thought about turning your story ideas into a flash fiction piece?
I was on fire in January. I set my goal to read 100 books in 2020. I came out with a strong showing. I am ahead of the curve right now. I didn't enjoy all of the books. I read too many two-star books. There were some four-star and only one five-star.
