June has ended, and it is time for a break 4th
of July – Independence Day. Food, Family, Fun & Fireworks and in our case
we will visit a huge flea market and maybe a few antique stores.

The end of the month
also means a look back at my June writing. Once again it was not enough, seems
like an ongoing theme. My goal for the year is a quarter of a million words,
but I have never been close and looks like I will not be again this year. Oh
well! All of my goals are sketchy at best, but I still would like to write at the
20,000 words per month pace, less than 700 per day.
So how did I do?
12,843 words, better than the past two months
but still woefully short of my goal. For the
year I am just under 122,000 words, if I pick it up, I might make the 250,000, but I am not betting on it not yet. I
still continue working on a final edit, from the book proof and the finishing
touches on, the first draft, of another novel.
Looks like about
half of this month’s writing was in the
form of blog posts as I made 20 total this month. Not bad and about what I
expect each month.

What’s holding me
back? Lots and lots of visitors and lots of time with kids and grandkids. Typically I blame my lack of production on too much time with my camera, but I have not
spent much time taking photos the past month. Must be the garden and maybe a
bit too much golf. Oh and it was too hot to write, but now with an all new
central air and furnace system it is terrific inside, but much poorer.

Keep reading and
keep writing and have a safe and memorable Independence Day.
