Charts are having trouble with Imgur, so we'll skip it this month.

Specific goals:

1. Write at least 20 days. Stretch goal: 25 days. I was going to make all this up during vacation and then I wrote on exactly two days of that vacation, so this did not turn out quite as expected.

2. Write a draft of the remixrevival story (due September 30). Nope, didn't even pick a story to write. That was another thing that was supposed to happen on vacation. Oops.

3. Finish the aforementioned post and write at least one more. I made good progress on the post, but it ended up being more work than I expected, so it needs a little research and is not quite ready.

4. Post in my journal four days a week. There is really no earthly reason I should not be able to do this. So let's just do it. Why is this so hard?

I am feeling a little defeated, not gonna lie. But let's see what I can salvage.

1. With 4 months to go in 2020, I would have to write 26.75 days every month to hit 240 total. I'll be honest with myself and say that's not going to happen. But I'll try for 25 days in September and see what happens. November is still to come, and I still have every intention of at least attempting to write every day that month.

2. Write and post story for remixrevival.

3. Finish in-progress LB post.

4. Post to my journal THREE days a week. Maybe ratcheting this goal down a step is what I need to make it work? We'll see.
