(As a side note, I haven’t written the year as 2202 yet, but it’s only a matter of time. Please tell me I’m not the only person having this problem…)
In contrast to January, I (mostly) stuck to the script last month. (That mostly is doing a fair amount of work, but this is me we’re talking about.)
- Finish the rough draft of All Gremlins Great and Small. Well, no. I still have a bunch to do. But I have a deadline of the 12th to get it to my critique partners, so it will be done before then.
Publish Dragon Freehold.DONE! It’s a fun, easy read. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do!Finish setting up the Patreon and get into the habit of posting things that I’ve promised to all the levels, even if I don’t have people signed up for it yet.I set up the levels so I don’t need to do much I wasn’t already going to do. That was a good idea.Continue editing and loading episodes of Fighting Fate to Kindle Vella. (I’m dropping one episode every day, so that’s not an insignificant amount of work.)Did this.Finish structural edits on The Chaos Nexus. I’ll probably get into the final editing stages in March.Sent it off to my proofreader two days ago!Play around with cover ideas for All Gremlins Great and Small as part of Thingadailies.Did this and reworked the cover for a newsletter magnet (Guile Awaits) at the same time. Plus I learned a lot about GIMP and InDesign, which was the main goal.
I’m giving myself a grade of “A”, mostly because I sat down and did The Chaos Nexus edits like a champ.
March Goals
- Release The Chaos Nexus! (The cover is ready, the manuscript is off with the proofreader… I should really get the pre-order set up today.)
- Finish the draft of All Gremlins Great and Small.
- Continue editing and loading episodes of Fighting Fate to Kindle Vella.
- Write a short story / newsletter bonus. I made a list of five stories (linked to various books) to write, and I’d like to get at least one of them done this month.
- Work on the book that comes after All Gremlins. (This is my “If I run out of things to do” goal.)
I think those goals are reasonable. Will I do them or get distracted again? Meet here next month and we’ll find out!
