I was bummed at the beginning of October and even more so now! I ended up for the first time all year being unable to complete everything on my list. I don’t think I even post most on my blog. It was a really rough month for me. My back issues got worse I could barely hold a pencil and not long enough to draw anything. I was on vacation and had most of my month planned and completed but I didn’t finish everything as I knew I could do those things while on vacation anyway. So, I had my videos done and I had my tutorials and mandalas planned, those I figured would be easy enough to complete.

On top of the back issue I got VERY sick I ended up anemic as well which didn’t help. I was really suffering lol not sure why I threw in the lol but there we go. I really was quite sick with most days being unable to leave the couch. It was not the best of vacations only good thing was I got to be pampered by my husband.

So, I definitely didn’t get all of my goals completed! I didn’t even get to do the blog posts at the time.

My October Goals

• Create a tutorial for each Friday – I only did 2 tutorials all month 🙁
• Create a mandala for each Monday – I didn’t complete any mandalas this month!
• Do 1 video on youtube per week – I did do a youtube video each week – this is my main goal it’s my must do so I’m glad I was able to do it this week.
• Do 1 SHORT for youtube per week – I would say on average yes I did at least 1 short per week.
• Schedule ahead, again – Not even happening lol
• Newsletter – Done, I send out once a month on the 1st of the month for the last month’s round-up – unless something else comes up. – Thankfully this is done ahead of time lol
• Do a monthly Instagram poll for a tutorial choice. – Nope, I knew I wouldn’t have the time to do a tutorial that wasn’t planned. Turns out didn’t have time for those either lol
• Do a monthly Instagram persona giveaway – I turned this into a two person draw .. so now I will be calling the name on this one today!
• Monthly Doodle Prompt list
  • Complete the monthly doodle prompt list – I created the list but only did a prompt or two.
• Do a monthly sticker sheet for Ko-Fi – Nope! lol
• Livestream twice a month – this month is the 18th and 25th at 6:30 pm EST – Didn’t happen I was so sick couldn’t even think about it. So sorry!

Bonus

• Discord – I want to keep working on this and getting it going. Part of that is by getting members so … If you want to join in I’d love to have you! – forgot I even had this in my sick state! lol
• I’d like to get a bit more in the vault for future like extra videos, tutorials etc. – didn’t happen at all
• DRAW – anything that isn’t something that is NEEDED lol – still my goal lol – I did draw a bit but not all I wanted!
