October Goals

And just like that, it’s October! How did September go?

  • Publish SHIFT HAPPENS (yay!)
  • Get the heist novel ready to submit for dev edits
  • Get the next chapter of IMPULSE out to YWC
  • Finish the zero draft of the space opera and circle back to the beginning to start filling it in. (IN PROGRESS)
  • Set up mailing list.

I’m giving myself an A+ just because I finally published my freaking book. That’s an accomplishment. So far the reviews have been good! Even my 10-year-old niece (not really in my target audience of adult women) read the book, really enjoyed it, and now wants to give me sequel ideas. That’s high praise indeed!

I also joined Cat Rambo’s Patreon, which gives me access to the co-working sessions in the evenings. That’s been helping me stay productive and is worth far more than the couple of bucks I’m paying per month.

October Goals

  • Finish the zero draft of the space opera and circle back to the beginning to start filling it in.
  • Learn some things about advertising while doing Bryan Cohen’s “5-Day Amazon Ad Profit Challenge”. I don’t expect this to have a big impact on sales, but it will give me an idea of how things work.
  • Get the next chapter of IMPULSE out to YWC.
  • Figure out what I’m doing for NaNoWriMo in November.
Ripley and Guido are learning tips for effective marketing as well.
