First of all, THANK YOU so much to everyone who participated and to the lovely Sara Biren, Katy Upperman, Alison Miller, Liz Parker, for letting me co-host this year’s #WriterRecharge…it’s time for the wrap-up!
#WriterRecharge Wrap-up
READ/REREAD
I want to schedule some more reading time…When I used to commute, it was easy to read LOTS of books in the train and I want to read at least 4 books this month, including a book that my husband recommended based on a show he heard on NPR: Ghost Boy –> I did schedule more reading time but not enough to fulfill this goal. However, on the positive side? Plato The Dog is now more adjusted to our home so I should be able to get some more reading done. HALF-YAY!
STRETCH
Continue learning Photoshop. I’ve been teaching myself a few tricks but I’d like to explore a bit more and become familiar with more of the features available. –> I’m having LOTS of fun with Photoshop. Love it. ALL-THE-WAY YAY!
SELF
Working out again. It’s been forever since the last time I worked out. I hurt my ankle, then got a bad cold and now am just lazy. Time to get my butt moving. I need to work out at least 3 times a week in February (not counting walking Plato the dog). –> Definite yay! While I didn’t get as many “formal” workouts as I wanted, I still did pretty well in this area!
CONNECT
Writer’s Retreat. I still cannot believe that on this Friday, I’ll be heading down to West Virginia with some amazing writers for a weekend retreat (so looking forward to meeting all of them in real life :)) –> Yay, yay, yay! This was really amazing and refreshing and everything Can we go back?
FUN
Plan a few outings with the husband: going for walks, maybe the movies and I think, I think he’s taking me to a nice restaurant on Valentine’s Day (he hinted upon it several times) 🙂 so I’m looking forward to that. I’d also like to start taking more pictures again. –> This was a definite yay too! 🙂 While the nice restaurant changed into Waffle House (common decision and fun one too), we did go on some walks and spent some quality time together. Plus I got to take more pictures 🙂

That picture is beautiful, Elodie. Congrats on all you accomplished this month, and I’m with you — another writing retreat, please! Let’s meet up to write via Twitter soon. ❤
The retreat sounds awesome! And congrats on all you did this month.
Happy to hear that Plato is settling in nicely. He’s such a cutie! I’m still super envious of you ladies and your AWESOME writing retreat. It’s my dream to attend a writing retreat someday. You should jump in on a writing sprint sometime soon, Elodie! I’d love to write with you and Katy and some other lovely ladies. 😀
Great job on everything you did this month! Have a blast with on your writing retreat.
Wow, that photo is stunning! Great job with the goals! 🙂
Yay for you and for Plato the Dog 🙂
That pic is GORGEOUS.
Thanks for hosting Recharge!
You did an awesome job this month!!! And yay for Plato getting adjusted. Such a cute puppy! Sorry I missed you at the retreat, but maybe one day soon!
Sounds like overall you had a really good month! Extra points for doing all this with a new dog in the house. 🙂 Thanks for co-hosting once again – it was fun!
I’m still so jealous of that retreat you guys did–so awesome. It’s been a blast hosting with you!
What an awesome month you’ve had! Have fun learning Photoshop, and feel free to tweet me if you have any questions about it — I know a lot of illustration-y tricks and partenr knows a lot of photo editing and general ‘shopping tricks.
Hooray for Plato getting more settled in! New animals in the house can be…exciting. And thank you so much for hosting!
