March 2022 Writing Update

Monthly Page - 2022 Reflection & Productivity Journal

As some of you may remember, I like to keep track of everything I do every month - important accomplishments and big tasks that I’ve successfully completed or worked on. 

Since I released my 2022 Journal, I’ve been using it almost every day to record the things I’ve done as well as (to a lesser extent) challenges I’ve faced and plans moving forward. If you’ve grabbed yourself a copy of my journal, you’ll see that at the end of each month is a monthly review page.

I already make (or try to make) monthly writing update posts on my blog (coming soon for March), but I think I might start sharing screenshots of my monthly pages from my journal, so here we go:

Writing Update for March 2022

As you can see above, March was a busy month for me writing-wise, but I want to get a lot more done in April. I have my work cut out for me; it's Camp NaNo and Writathon, and I've got 33 days to write A Cure for Happiness - or, at least, the majority of it. This is about 2,000 words per day - and I have to publish them in order for them to count, at least for Writathon.

But I'm very glad to have accomplished what I already have in the month of March. The illustrations for The Beast of Ildenwood, the prologue for [in]Sanity, the completed first draft of Murder in Heliopolis, the chapters for The Beast of Ildenwood... I'm glad that I was able to get so much done, given that I was really only working on these things during the second half of March (except, I think, for [in]Sanity).

March also marks my return to Tumblr, my start over at Inkitt, and my return to Royal Road as well - at least, mainly in the forums, where I like to spend a lot of time engaging with other writers and readers. 

Plans for April 2022

I have lots of plans - so much to write, so little time - so I won't make too many of them at once. And - let's not forget - it's Ramadan! Lots to do, so I'm not sure how much time I'll have for my writing endeavours. Suffice it to say that in the near future, I'm hoping to do 4 main things:

• host a celebration on Tumblr (I've hit various milestones over the past couple of years that I never held celebrations for, so now I want to go back and make that happen)
• prepare bonus chapters for Murder in Heliopolis 
• continue updating The Beast of Ildenwood weekly
• successfully complete Camp NaNo / Writathon with A Cure for Happiness
  

I hope I can at least get these things done! If I can do that in April, then I'm happy. (Also, maybe I can throw in a couple of illustrations, too?)
