On February 19, 2021 By K.M. Allan24 Comments

Happy weekend! I’ll be spending mine finishing Avalon Hall by @ruth__miranda, publishing my February Roundup #blog, & more checklist edits for #Blackbirch 3. If you’ve been looking for my Writer Checklists after I mentioned them earlier this week, I’ve listed them all together for the first time on my blog. The link is in my bio!
It’s the last few days of Feb and I’m proud to say that I’ve walked almost every day this month. I’ve also gotten very close to finally finishing my #Blackbirch 3 beta draft. How about you? Is there a February goal that you’ve hit?
Yesterday I finished my #Blackbirch 3 grammar/spell checks, so today is all about fixing things I’ve noted down & running through my Weak Words & Repeats checklists (both of which can be found on my #blog **update: I’ve now added a direct link to my writing checklists. Look for it in my bio**). What #writing task is on your agenda for today?
#WritingTipWednesday. You Don’t Have A Specific Goal.
