So… It’s the 8th of August, and I just remembered that I never wrote my goals post at the beginning of the month. (Usually, it takes me a week to remember to give my dog his heartworm and flea medication and I write the blog post right away. This time, I flipped it.)
How did I do in July? Let’s see:
- Write the first draft of the next Penelope Standing cozy mystery. I got 23k written. A little less than halfway through.
Continue to load episodes for The Ghostwriting Blues on Kindle Vella to keep up with a twice weekly release schedule.I did this!Come up with a revision plan for All Rocs after I get feedback from my critique partners. (I have a pre-order date for that one, so depending on how much needs to be changed, this might take priority over everything else.)Did this and I’ve been working on the revisions.Learn more about Facebook ads. Try not to spend a zillion dollars while doing so.Spent a bunch on advertising The Ghostwriting Blues. I’m waiting to see if that made a difference to my Kindle Vella bonus before making more experiments.- Stretch goal: write more episodes of the space opera serial. Ha ha, did not even look at this.
Meh. I’ve felt very unfocused lately. Let’s hope that changes soon.
August Goals
- Finish edits on All Rocs and send it off for proofreading.
- Continue twice weekly release schedule on Kindle Vella for The Ghostwriting Blues.
- Add another 10k to the next Penelope Standing cozy mystery.
Obligatory Pet Photo
Foster kitten Humphrey (aka, Humphrey NaughtyKitten) is adorable and very, very needy. He’s going back to the shelter to get neutered and adopted in two days. I’ll miss his little squeaks and oversized personality, but I suspect I’ll get more work done.
