Reading
I read a good amount during the month. I went into a bit of a slump toward the end and even skipped a book review. I’m not too worried though. I have the rest of the year to reach my 52-book goal. Slow and steady.
Writing
The writing was plentiful between the 85K90 challenge and Camp NaNoWriMo. I also self-published Sunday Morning: A Collection of 52 Flash Fiction (finally!) so please do go check that out if you haven’t already.
Blogging
I got behind in blogging. Like, way behind. So much happened this month and there weren’t enough hours in the day. I’m getting a good chunk of May done though. I’ll catch up soon enough.
Overall
April was crazy. I self-published my first book, participated in Camp NaNoWriMo, finished the writing part of the 85K90 Writing Challenge, so much happened at my church, it was Easter, there were a couple of birthdays, and, toward the end, my grandfather went into the hospital. It’s been a lot, obviously. I’m drained mentally and physically, despite most of the happenings in April were good.
I even skipped a couple of days of blogging, that’s how drained I was. My OCD will drive me nuts later, but whatever – I don’t want to post for the sake of posting and I needed a break.
I’m looking forward to May, though. Things should calm down a bit and hopefully, all will be well with my grandfather.

Sorry about your Grandfather… Hope he’s recovering well. Glad the rest of your month was good though, even if it was crazy.
April was a pretty great month, helped by the fact I’ve reached the point in my recovery from surgery where I can go out with hubby and the dog on some of their walks. I didn’t do as much reading or writing as planned in April, but I did a reasonable amount, so I’m not too bothered about that. Besides, it’s because I was busy doing other things, like playing with the dog, going for walks, getting way ahead on sorting some posts I could schedule for my blog, working on craft projects, etc. Also, I’d planned to watch six DVDs in April, and ended up watching eight, so that helped me catch up a little with that goal anyhow. I still have plenty of time to catch up with my reading goal before the end of the year, and did make a reasonable amount of progress on my WIP, so it’s all good, and I’m happy with how April was for me.
Thank you. It’s kind of a waiting game at the moment for him while they try different meds for him and such.
That all sounds great. I’m glad you seemed to have a productive April even if it wasn’t in the way you originally thought.
Hope they figure out the right meds soon.
Me too, thanks.
