June: what a month!
- Writing wise, I set out to write for forty-five minutes per day. I largely stuck to this goal, although I took the equivalent of three days off to switch gears back after a deep dive into finishing What We’ve Almost Forgotten.
- In total, I posted over 17,000 words across my projects, also including updates for Our Secrets and Our Silence (It All Became So Violent).
- Next month, I’ll stick with forty-five minutes per day. Keep up with my progress on TrackBear!
- I hosted one Las Vegas TNG (The Next Generation) event this month: one of our usual munches.
- My wife also organized another unofficial all you can play TNG laser tag night! Thanks to her and to everyone who attended our events this month!
- In July, I’ll be hosting one of our usual munches on the 21st, if you happen to be 18-35 and local to the Vegas area.
- For the Neon Cactus Wordsmiths, I hosted two Discord write-ins this month, as well as our monthly social at my place. Thanks to everyone who attended!
- Next month, I’ll be hosting two Discord write-ins on the 9th and 23rd, as well as our social on the 18th. If you happen to be a Las Vegas based writer, join us for those and more!
- In June, I loved doing some informal teaching/demo’ing and helping out at the Rainbow’s Edge Pride Party.
- In July, you can catch me helping my wife vend at the Cathedral’s Flea Market Fundraiser on July 5th. I’ll also be on a panel for MAsT: Marietta Women virtually on July 26th. Join us!
Other updates from this month:
- Here are some of my favorite photos from this month.
- I read some great books in June, including Break The Internet by Olivia Yallop and Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins (be still, Teenage Hannah’s heart). My goal is to spend at least fifteen minutes learning/reading every day. Keep up with my reading on StoryGraph!
- I’ve been thrilled to continue my work on the Leather Leadership Conference Board of Directors. Remember to get your ticket and book your room; also, our presenter application and our scholarship application are currently open!
- June gratitude: family and friends (always), pools, sunshine, and ice cream!
Thanks for everything this month; have a happy, healthy, and safe July!
