It’s time for another installment of monthly goals and check-in on the progress I made on June’s goals! I started sharing my goals and my progress toward achieving them back in May. Things were going along swimmingly, and then the month of June happened.

To kick the month off, I had a stomach bug at the beginning of the month that ended my writing streak at 42 days (the goal was 66). Then, on Father’s Day, my city got hit by what was, hands down, the scariest storm I’ve ever experienced and I was without power for SIX days (some people were without power for even longer).

Even though I was able to stay with my mom, who didn’t lose power, my routine was completely thrown off and I just didn’t get as much done as I was hoping for, especially on my writing projects. That being said, I did still make some good progress toward my goals, and small forward movement is still movement, so I’ll take it. Read on to get an update on my June goals and see what my goals for July are!

June Progress Check-In

❌Finish the 66 Write Challenge by writing a story on Medium every day between now and June 25th (and maybe even beyond)

As I mentioned above, I got a weird stomach bug the day after setting this goal…
