June Goals 2023
My writer productivity skyrockets when I set monthly writer goals, and it’s time to share my June goals. At the beginning of each week I break them down into daily tasks that fit my current schedule. Do you know how great it is to finish projects? Of course you do! For me, setting monthly goals makes it all possible.
Every month I share how I did the previous month as well as what my new goals are. Let’s get to it!

I did NOT meet my most important goal–to finish the first draft of the third book in my new series. In fact, I had to go through everything I’d written and refocus one aspect. That in turn led to scenes moving, new scenes added and an overall jumble. I’m still working on it. All of my other writing goals were met–yay!
My husband and I were able to get away on a mini-vacation, and it was so needed. I came back refreshed and ready to tackle my life! The every week or two logging of calories seems to be working, and I’m getting even more exercise because the weather is so nice.

I have lofty writing goals this month. July will be busy too. I’m okay with that because I’ll have less time to work in August.
A good health update: I reached my original goal weight! Yay!! I would still like to drop a few more pounds so that my summer clothes fit better, but overall, I’m thrilled. Consistency truly pays off.
Enjoy this lovely month!
