writing wrap up:
for those of you that don’t know, last month was camp nanowrimo! this is my first time participated was in 2015!
as i’m only just getting back into writing now, i decided to start with a small goal of 30k words. (my previous goals of 50k were successfully met). unfortunately, i only managed to write 20k, but i still see this as an achievement – i’ve managed to start writing regularly (not quite every day, but close enough).
towards the end of the month, i decided to change my entire outline. although this affected my wordcount (i basically started again), i’m happy with how things are turning out.
did you participate in camp nano? if so, how did you do?
thank you for taking the time to read this overly long (and not very eventful) post. feel free to comment your wrap up posts below, and i’ll check them out. 😊😊

Wow, looks like you had an amazing month. 26 books and plenty of 4 and 5 stars!
couldn’t have asked for a better month!!
Congratulations for getting back into writing and 20K sounds like a lot to me. So many 5 stars – I LOVE THAT! The Other Side of Beautiful has me interested.
i can’t recommend the other side of beautiful enough! it’s such a great story.
You read so many books – and had lots of higher star ratings too, which is amazing! I had a tougher July. I read a lot of good books but practically nothing actually caught my attention until the last 4 books of the month. Thankfully all of those wound up with five stars! Hope your August is just as great!
at least july ended on a high note for you! hopefully august is filled with lots of 5 star reads!
That was a good reading month for you!
yes it was! thank you.
Congrats on reading so much in July. We also enjoyed They Wish They Were Us.

Wow – 26 books is pretty impressive! And I’m glad you enjoyed so many of them 😊 And writing 20K words in addition to all that reading definitely isn’t bad, either! Good luck with all your future writing endeavors!
