Hello, everyone! Thank you for your patience! Last month, I remarked on how quickly my month went. March did not go as quickly. It seemed like it was taking forever to get finished! I’m sure it was mostly because I was ready for spring break.
Books
This month I finished At Home in Mitford. I LOVED IT! It was such a great book! It had a little of everything I love added in- romance, mystery, and a little adventure. Like I’m sure I said before, it’s a great book if you want to read a relaxing novel. Yes, I did say adventure and mystery, but you need at least a little action, right? Otherwise, it would be a little boring!
I also finished the second book in the series, A Light in the Window. It was just as good as the first, with a little romance and mystery sprinkled in.
Finally, I started the third book in the series. I’ll let you know what I think about it when I finish it.
Writing
So, this month, I got quite a bit of writing done. I wrote almost every day, adding to my book. For my story of the month, I have decided that I’m going to add on to the short story I did last time. But, I am going to do it in a separate post so I can write more than I usually do. Sorry for the delay!
I’m also going to do a new thing next month to help me track my writing. Whenever I write, I’ll set a stopwatch so I can write down in my bullet journal for how long I wrote each day. I’ll add up my time for each week and compare. Then, I’ll add my weekly times together to get my total writing time for the month. It’s just something I wanted to try.
Bullet Journal
So, this month, I decided that before each monthly recap, I would go ahead and get next month’s title page, overview, and trackers done so I can share pictures for next month. For April, I decided to do something spring-ish. I decided on the theme “Secret Garden”. And without further ado, here is my title page.
Next, I did my monthly overview with vines and flowers to complete the “Secret Garden” theme. I have a section for notes on the left page as usual with another section for goals underneath it. On the top left of the right page, I have a section titled, “books”. Here, when I finish a book during April, I write the name down so I don’t forget about it when it’s time for another monthly recap. To the right of that, I have a section titled, “writing”. This is where I will write down the amount of time I wrote each week. Underneath the section for books, I have a section for my blog. This is where I can plan out a post for each week. Underneath the section for writing, I have a section for memories. This where I can write down memories I don’t want to forget. I haven’t decided what to do under the section for my blog yet. I will probably do a quote.
Next, I did my sleep log. Of course, the tree and owl are there to contribute to the theme.
Next is my habit tracker. Nothing new here!
All of these pictures were taken while we were staying at a cabin in Cumberland Mountain State Park. I really enjoyed my spring break! What about you? What did you do for spring break?
Well, that’s all for this week! I hope you come back next Thursday to read my story! Comment or email me if you have any questions.
Thanks for reading! Happy writing!
But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 ESV
