#GotGoalsBlogHop
The tough blow from last month… there has been an Internet storm of others feeling equally outraged.
Spent most of my time this month taking care of my niece. Maybe the election next month will bring more love and concern for others to the land on which I live.
On Wednesday, I got confirmation that a friend of mine passed away. I had a feeling he had, since he had been very bad off at the end. Still, it was hard finding out for sure.
And yup, I’m still in Twitter follow jail. Guessing I’ll need another 800 followers before I get out. Or I have to unfollow that many people. Ugh.
But I managed to cross off some of my goals for the year, so there’s that. And I have the schedule for the A to Z Challenge 2019 posted.
NaNoWriMo is coming! Click the cup for my profile & to be buddies.
The MAIN LIFE GOALS:
- Publish two decent-selling book series (speculative fiction)
- Survive at least another
3635

There’s also the Bucket List:
- Publish a book and sell 2,000 copies of it in one week or 8,000 copies of it in one month.

Great goals. Like the bucket list too. Nice.
Your image on the left side is not showing it is giving a fail face.

I’m not sure how to fix it as I can see it. But I thank you for the heads up.

I’m sorry about your friend. It’s really hard to lose someone close to you like that. Thinking of you.
