Last Month’s Goals (April)
A better month health wise and I think I’ve made great progress with my aim for getting ahead. As we leave for a six week trip in Bobbus, our camper van, on the 8th May I need to be prepared… as well as think about what I can achieve realistically whilst we’re away.
😛 Post four more chapters of Wolf Moon on Wattpad – yep, I continue to keep on target with Wolf Moon and most of all it’s helping me to get the edits done. All about accountability.
🙂 Market Short Story as a giveaway – well I’ve finished The Earth Dragon of Sassi and it’s now available here… as for marketing it, well I’ve given a little nudge but as writers we all find it hard to blow our own trumpet… but it’s finished and that’s a big thing
😕 Marketing Plan for Journals – this keeps being pushed back, but that’s okay. It’s one of the projects I might spend some time on whilst we’re away as it’s easy to pick up in small windows of time. I hit a brick wall because I have spent some time creating new covers but the format of the interior has gone all awol… and I’m not sure why
😎 Complete snowflake for the Rainbow Book 1 – I’ve had so much fun with this over the past four weeks and I’m so excited about the story. I’ve started the scene list and again it’s something I’ll dabble with whilst I’m away.
😉 Plan timeline for for the first draft of Rainbow Book 1 – well, I’ve not given this much thought but I shan’t be drafting it until I get back. So by the end of summer (2019 that is) I hope to have the first draft done.
So this month and half of June is going to be a little scatty in terms of goals. I don’t want to set the stakes too high, yet I do want to maintain momentum so these are my initial thoughts for this month…
🎯 Complete all edits of Wolf Moon – before I leave on 8th *gulp*
🎯 Schedule all Social Media posts as far as I can up to end of June
🎯 Re look at Journals for Writers and plan relaunch (for my return in June)
🎯 Organise and clean up my One note Bujo (which is essentially my whole life) and Pinterest Boards
🎯 Work on scene list and world building for Rainbow Chronicles
I’m taking a different approach to my writing life this year. I know there are some things I want to achieve this year, but when I think big, it all gets a bit too much. So I’m going to try and take things more in the ‘here and now’. So much more short term planning about the next day with an eye on where I’d like to be by the beginning of a new month.
