Writing in another language

One of the habits I have started this year is keeping a diary. The main purpose of this exercise is to improve my writing skills in Spanish, rather than recording the events of each day, as I know that my speaking skills are far superior to my writing skills at the moment. I set myself what seemed a low target of 100 words a day, and was surprised at how difficult this was, especially for the first week.

2017 Reading Challenge

A few friends have completed (or at least attempted) various reading challenges in recent years, and while I read a LOT of books, I don't generally have a reading plan in place. So I thought this year I'd have a go at one of these challenges, and while tempted to dive into attempting something like this in Spanish, I think I'll give it a go in English first. The challenge I have chosen to undertake is to read 26 books fitting 26 categories. I'll try to focus on some of the more difficult categories first. I have started a list with possible titles for a lot of the categories.
