April 2023 Goals

In glancing back over my March goals, I think I might have been a bit ambitious…

  • Release Death Crashes a Wedding (Penelope Standing Mysteries #4) on March 25th. I need to update my website, load the final version to all the vendors, and do a bunch of things like that. DONE!
  • Migrate my newsletter from MailChimp and set up an actual welcome sequence. (I’m probably going with EmailOctopus, but that’s not 100% certain yet.) DONE!
  • Set up an ARC team for my SF/F books and let my newsletter readers know about it. DONE!
  • Weekly space opera episodes DONE!
  • Draft 15k words on PS5 Not quite. I’m over 9k, but I’m behind
  • PS series bible Nope (though I have referenced what I have so far, so clearly it’s needed!)
  • Play with DAZ Studio with the aim of recovering the Jackpot Drift series (or at least not forgetting everything I learned until I have time to work on the cover). I’ve done a bit of this
  • Two new stories/digital bonus things for my Patreon supporters YES!

I did quite a lot of what I was supposed to, so I’m giving myself a B+ and a pep talk about writing more.

April Goals

  • Draft 30k words on PS5 as part of Camp NaNoWriMo
  • Two new stories/digital bonus things for my Patreon supporters
  • Get the ARC of All Basilisks out to my new SF/F ARC team!
  • Weekly space opera episodes
  • Load the rest of DAMAGED CONSTRUCT onto Kindle Vella
  • Get a new batch of foster kittens!

That’s more than enough to do in a month. I’ve also got a mountain of wood chips waiting to be moved.
