Celebrate The Small Things is a weekly blog hop wherein we post our celebrations each Friday, big and small. Thanks to our host VikLit for this wonderful meme and my fellow co-hosts Diana Wilder, LG Keltner @ Writing Off the Edge, and Katie @ TheCyborg Mom for their hard work.
This week I’m celebrating:
- A long weekend. The end of the month tends to be more hectic at work so I’m glad to have this out of the way and just be able to relax before the new month kicks in again.
-
Got my tickets booked. Will be visiting with family for my mom’s birthday in a couple of weeks. \o/
-
Finished my Behavioral Genetics class in Coursera.
-
Got 5’s on my essay on Bram Stoker’s Dracula for my Sci Fi class. Six is the highest and so far I’ve been averaging 4’s so I’m quite happy with this.
My June progress:
- Finished two MOOC’s. Currently on track for three out of my seven courses.
-
Sadly, no new writing done although I have been doing bits of research for on-going and future projects. I’m also in the midst of edits with the help of my awesome Womentoring mentor Janette Currie.

Managed to blog once a week:Ā IWSG post, My Writing Process Blog Tour, Celebrate The Small Things, and a Short Story. I apologize if I haven’t been visiting and commenting as much as I used to. I still read and if you’re on wordpress, click the like button to let you know I appreciate the post.
Can you believe we’re already halfway through the year? How has your progress been so far? Anything you’re looking forward to in particular? What are you celebrating this week?

Finishing the things in our list make us happy. Good job on finishing yours.
This week I am celebrating 100 followers of my blog (didn’t expect any for my blog; thank you guys.); writing more poems; posting new writing exercises; reading and reviewing more books; having more ideas for my novels.
I am looking forward to rewrite my poetry book and post in on Amazon… and also to finish editing my YA Fantasy Novel “The Forbidden Garden”

PS. Looking forward for July’s NaNoWriMo.

Congrats! Sounds like you’ve been a busy bee. Glad to hear you’re getting on with the edits of “The Forbidden Garden.” Good luck with Camp! What are you aiming for this time?
June 27, 2014 at 7:11 pm
I am aiming 35k-50k. I want to write an Amish YA/Juvenile Novella.
June 27, 2014 at 7:18 pm
Sounds interesting. Good luck! Wish I had time for Camp. Last April was so much fun. I’m going to miss the cabins come November. Looking forward to your updates in July!
June 27, 2014 at 7:35 pm
I’ll see how it goes.
It will be a second camp nano for me.

Congrats on your Dracula essay! I took a SciFi class once and really enjoyed it. Hope you have a great time with your family. Enjoy your long weekend!
June 27, 2014 at 7:10 pm
Thanks! I’m really enjoying the class despite all the reading and essays. Have a great weekend!
June 27, 2014 at 8:24 pm
Yay to getting those tickets. Now, you can lean back and just enjoy looking forward to the trip. Congratulations on your essay!
June 28, 2014 at 4:05 pm
Yes it’s great to have that out of the way. I’m really looking forward to the trip. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

It’s stressful to keep up with all the blogging tasks.
Hugs and chocolate!

I’m glad I managed to keep up once a week though despite everything that’s been going on. Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!

For some reason this week has felt long — so I’m just celebrating the fact that I made it through!
June 28, 2014 at 4:09 pm
I agree. Sometimes you just can’t seem to get through the day or week fast enough. Hope things pick up for you next week and you’ll have a better time of it. Enjoy your weekend!
June 28, 2014 at 4:12 pm
That’s the strange thing… it wasn’t even a bad week! Just…long.
Happy weekend to you too!

Research counts just as much as writing. (That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!) Congrats on all your accomplishments, the “5”, and getting the tickets booked. Have a good weekend! š
July 1, 2014 at 3:58 pm
Haha true on research. I’ll keep that in mind thanks! š

I’m counting reading as progress toward some goal as yet undefined. But I’m sure I’ll figure out what it is soon. At least you’ve set out some nice things to accomplish and from those grades, it looks like you’ve done very well. Congrats on that.
July 1, 2014 at 4:00 pm
Great thinking on the undefined goal. I think it’s hard to keep that in mind when we don’t see tangible results so thanks for sharing that. Let me know once you figure it out. š Good luck!

It’s amazing that it’s July already! I hope you enjoyed your weekend…just playing catchup now! Behavioral genetics sounds really interesting btw…I find that stuff really interesting.

Yeah I find that sort of stuff interesting too and it was really a good class. Thanks for visiting!
July 4, 2014 at 4:18 pm
It’s great that you completed so many tasks; you should be proud. š I hope you have a great time at Mom’s for her birthday. Enjoy your 4th of July and stay safe. ((Hugs)) Eva
