It’s time for progress and new goals. I’ll say right off that I didn’t make as much progress last month as I’d hoped. I got things done, but not all on my list. The busyness may be easing a little, and perhaps June will be more productive.

• Finish preparing for my presentation to the NW Arkansas Letter Writers Society at the May 10 meeting. I finished the preparation in good time and made the presentation. Alas, only two people showed up: our leader, and one a friend of mine from church who came to hear me. Possibly I’ll give this presentation again someday.
• Complete all tasks and publish There’s No Such Thing As Time Travel. Very do-able, I think. We are so close on this. I began writing this post and this item long before the day of posting. Possibly I’ll be able to edit this, before the post goes live, and say “Done!”
• Attend writers meetings. There will be 5 or 6 this month, two in person and three or four on-line. I attended the two in-person meetings, and they were good. I decided to back off a little and am taking a break from the on-line group for a while. I attended the first two and left off the last two.
• Make good progress on the second Bible study while I wait to hear from my beta reader on the first. No, I didn’t get a lot done on this. The unexpected Centennial work, combined with things I had to do around the house, kept me from concentrating enough to complete these. Also, a glitch of some kind meant my beta reader never received the document to review. That’s been corrected now and I’m awaiting that review.
• Finish those website updates. I think I have less than 30 minutes of work on this. Not done. Such a small item. Will go on the list for June.
• Complete work on the Centennial research notes. I think this will be another 2 or possibly 3 hours of work. I was not able to find the little bit of time needed to do this. Partly that was due to the Committee asking me to help with a new task, which took a lot more than the couple of hours I wanted to devote to the research notes. Put it on next month’s to-do list.
• As always, blog twice a week, on Monday and Friday. Yes, got this done. In something of a rhythm now.

So much for what I accomplished in May. What’s planned—or hoped for—in June? Some of it will sound much like May’s list.

• Work on my unfinished Bible study, A Walk Through Holy Week, Part 3. Although I still don’t have feedback on Part 4 (I know, this is another out-of-order situation with my writing), I want to at least finish this part.
• Take a long look at my writing and sales, and decide which of several major projects comes next. I have several directions to go. I don’t anticipate being able to actually start on my next project this month. It would be good, however, to finish the month at least knowing what it is.
• Finish the Centennial research notes.
• Finish the updates to my website. That will include adding the new book to my list of publications.
• Attend two in-person writers groups, or three if you include the letter writers society. I’m not sure when I’ll be getting back to the on-line group.
• Work on Tales Of A Vagabond. I’ll have to devote a post to this.
