November 2018 Writer’s Life: A new computer for me! [#yearofwriting]

Please subscribe to my newsletter: Self-Care For Writers.

Well, I’m going to start out with the good news first: This month, after several months of planning for it, I finally got my new computer. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while and new that a new computer was due… but was holding off until Apple announced their new model of the Macbook Air. They finally did and I, of course, rushed out to get one. I’m a huge Apple girl and cannot imagine working on any other computer. So this is very exciting for me!

How much I made: $2750

But here’s the bad news: I did not make as much money this month as I had hoped. Part of that is because I had a few trips planned that kept me from working as much as usual, including a lengthy trip over Thanksgiving. I am not one of those writers who will bring my computer with me on trips, so… I didn’t. And I am happy with that decision but, still, the finances definitely took a hit. I made less than half the money that I made last month so THAT sucked. But I’m still hoping to do better in December. In the meantime, here’s what was published this month!
