July Mid-Month Goals Check

It's about the middle of the month, so time for a mid-month goal check! I have been feeling better and less depressed the last week or so I'm making some progress.

1) Finish top for me
I did a little bit of work on this but then I decided that it was too stressful and that I wanted to focus on quilting instead.

2)Do one of: Sew blocks into quilt top, or quilt finished quilt top with dragons
I have started working on the sewing the blocks! I have cut out the slashing, figured out where I want the blocks to go relative to each other and sewn some slashing on. pictures

3)Finish draft of the fic
I've only written maybe 2k words so far this month, but I also wrote and outline of the rest of the fic and I can write it a bit faster now. I would guess there are somewhere between 3-5k words left, so this is probably doable. I hope.

4)Read Five Online SFF shorts
I have read three!

5) Write two posts talking about what I've been observing in the built and natural environment around me
One of these is drafted, but I want to poke it some more. I'll probably post it next week. And I have an idea for the second one.

6) Write two letters to state or local officials
I know I should do thing but I have anxiety just thinking about it.

I guess written out like this, I'm not doing to badly. There's a bunch of things in transition in my life right now, and I'm feeling a bit stressed so I don't know how the rest of the month will go. I should be able to meet some of these goals at least, but things aren't looking good for goal 6, or all the sewing projects. But hopefully I'll at least finish the quilt top. Wish me luck!
