It's been a mixed bag, really.
Personal front has been disastrous. Professionally, nothing much at all - except I am happy I am not working anymore.
On the reading front, I have not been able to reach the goal of 50 books but the current number is not a bad stat either. I have been borrowing books from the library and also bought a few. December, I even got a gift - a wonderful book called Birdcloud by Annie Proulx. I am reserving it for the new year.
On the writing front, I didn't win the Nanorwrimo challenge (of 50K words to complete a novel.) Instead, I managed to finish 24K words and the story is still not done.
I decided to continue writing in December, but I wasn't very successful either - have managed just an addition of 6k words to the total. The last week is again another round of travel and so, my progress is going to be bumpy. My hopes of completing the novel seem to be less and less probable.
So, overall this year has not been very satisfactory. But loads and loads of lessons learned - both on the reading and the writing front.
I plan to be more organized in the year 2017 and achieve my reading and writing goals.
That reminds me, I need to think through the reading and writing goals before the year ends.
Happy new year in advance, virtual world. May the new year be better in all aspects.
