Coming up…the November Update

<music>

November came and went so let’s dive right into this.

Monthly Focus

There was a lot of focus areas for November:

• Project King NaNoWriMo
• Waited Revision

These are the primary areas to which I should be focusing on for November.

For the secondary focus I noted to do:

• 2 podcast episodes

Let’s jump into the work hours for the month to breakdown the actual work down:

Finance

No financial changes this month outside of standard expenses.

Summary

Continuing the trend of little time investment. Unfortunately, I dropped NaNo which is disappointing.

Given my past trends in this time of year, I will opt to leave it free of any major deadlines or project efforts. 

What’s Next?

Focus Areas:

• Waited Secondary Revision
• 2021 Planning
• 2020 Review

A top priority is to finish Waited short story revisions. I’ve been very lax on this and want to wrap this project up. 

December will be a chill month as well, and will focus on 2021 planning and projects. 

In Closing

Not very happy with the output of this month, but I’ve been heavily focused on life management tasks, if you will. Thus, it’s been a good trade-off in time. 

With that, this will be the only episode for December and I will return with the 2021 Update to share what’s on the radar and what I plan to tackle next year.

Until next time
