June 2026 Update!

 

Hey Fellow Nerds!

Another month down for 2026 as we move into June.  May seemed to go on for ages for me.  Although I did manage a visit to Bradford Waterstones and have been productive writing wise.

May Review - Yesterday was the last day of the Facebook group Write Magic's annual Bootcamp. I've taken part in the past but usually stopped after a couple of days.

This time with a goal of 10,000 words I actually carried on and hit the target.  I actually enjoyed it and will definitely carry on writing but not as much. 


I managed to finish The Cubbyhole and the prologue to Urban X-Gore.

Reading wise I read some Salem's Lot by Stephen King, but put the reading on the back burner for my writing.

In June - As I mentioned above I'm still going to write but not as much.  I'm aiming for 5,000 to 8,000 words per month.  I also need to make more notes on the story before I write much more.

I'm definitely going to prioritise my reading in June and finish Salem's Lot in the next couple of days.  Then I can read some Gemmell.

I also plan to walk more and start some exercise as I didn't get chance in May with the writing challenge!

What are your plans for June?
