November 2023 Goals

Yes, somehow it is already November. I’m not sure how that happened either. But before we get to this month’s goals, let’s laugh at my performance during the last month, shall we?

  • Two new stories/digital bonus things for my wonderful Patreon supporters. YES!
  • Weekly space opera and dragon episodes. It would be nice to finish the space opera before November, but I’m not sure if it’s going to happen in four episodes. YES! The space opera serial is finished and I put a note in Dragon Fortune that I was taking November off.
  • Write at least 20k in the next Portal Storm book. Totally did not do this. I think I got a couple thousand in.
  • Record 10 chapters of audio for Shift Happens. I’m still trying to work out the best way to do different voices (Practice. The answer is practice. This isn’t a secret!) so I can’t swear what I record will be usable, but just the act of recording will force me to get better. Yeeeeaaahh, I didn’t do too much. I think I got maybe a chapter recorded.
  • Do a bit more worldbuilding for NaNoWriMo. Sure, I did some thinking.
  • Play with the foster kittens (when they get out of quarantine, if possible)! I got two new bunches of fosters (at the same time) and they have been played with.

It doesn’t sound too bad when I look at it, but I really should have been making more progress on the book. Oh well. There is room for improvement.

November Goals

  • It’s NaNoWriMo time! I’m going to write 50k words on the urban fantasy novel.
  • Two new stories/digital bonus things for my awesome Patreon supporters.
  • Play with foster kittens!

I’ve simplified things this month. Let’s see if I can hit all my goals.

Obligatory Pet Picture

The younger fosters have all been named after pirates because of their unfortunate eye situation. (Actually, things have improved since this was taken — Blackbeard has two working eyes and even Anne Bonny has a little vision in one eye!)
