Word count: 5542 I had a good thing going for the first five days, then I missed a day . . . and then another . . . and now here we are 😅 My strategy was writing at night after work, but naturally it became more enticing to do other things instead. So my new plan is to write in the morning, or at least earlier in the day rather than just saving writing for last. I’m not so far behind I can’t catch up, so here’s to being on track at my week 2 check-in!

I have two book signing events on July. Ill be at the historic Moravian Book Shop in Bethlehem, PA, on Saturday, July 18, followed by Barnes & Nobles in Gainesville, VA, on Sunday, July 26. If you're in the area, please stop by.

Hello all! Late to the party but happy to be joining! My name is Brindizi and I love reading, writing, and teaching--especially when it comes to teens. I've taught at a junior high school for three years and will be moving to teach in South Korea next month! I love all kinds of books and my current WIP is a YA travel abroad romance. I'm happy to swap books and give/receive feedback!

Current word count. 5,142. This challenge has been so good for me. I am working on a project that is different than what I spent a week planning before the month began. I knew I wasn't going to write on Sundays, but I did not expect today. Work and life have just been so much that I am absolutely exhausted. I don't say that lightly as someone who runs marathons, works out multiple times a week, and regularly works 75+ hour workweeks. I have been posting daily updates on my Instagram @ericleroyanderson if you want to see my full swing of emotions this week. I am going to go get at least 250 words in tonight, then I am going to bed early. I'm excited to see where everyone else is at!

Should we keep track of each other? Like report on Mondays in a post? I need this level of check up. 😅
