Journal 5/10/19 Overwhelmed

Greetings! I thought I'd check in with another journal, since it has been a few days since my first one. Things have been rather busy for me, and I've been running behind on my writing exercise entries. I've got all the old ones done, but I still owe you one for today. I'm determined to catch up, so the dates might not match up correctly, but there will eventually be one for each day. 

Tomorrow is going to be quite busy as well, but I will make time for my writing exercises. I have to. I promised myself I would keep up and hold myself accountable. If I let one slip now, it'll be easier to let one slip later, too, and next thing you know I've given up. I refuse to let that happen.

So other than the fact that I'm behind on entries, I feel like things are going well. My word counter tool tells me that I've been over 500 words for each of my entries, which was one of my goals. It says my first several entries were 9th-10th grade reading level, and this most recent one, "Nightly Ritual", went up to 11th-12th grade reading level, so I feel excited about that. I'm not sure what my goal reading level is, but I feel like the jump is a sign of improvement.

As for life, not only has it been busy, but I've been rather sick the last month or so. I'm hoping I'll feel better soon, but in the mean time writing is more difficult than I thought it would be. I'm still determined to keep up with my goal of one writing exercise per day though, and I know I'll catch up soon. Hopefully by Monday, as I don't have as much planned that day. We shall see. :)
