“I think I can do all that, despite the holiday madness.” — December 2023 Theresa, wildly overestimating her ability to get things done.
Before I go over how I did on my December goals, can we all take a moment to look at that statement? Okay, now that you’ve had a good laugh, let’s look at my performance:
Release Death Paints a Picture on 12/16/2023. I have the edits back, so I just need to make the changes and write the back matter. Then it’s just a matter of loading it to the retailers. (Marketing? What’s that?)DID THIS!Write weekly episodes on the Kindle Vella dragon serial.DID THIS!Create two digital bonus things for my awesome Patreon supporters.DID THIS!- Finish the rough draft of the urban fantasy novel I started in November. Currently at 65k and have not approached the ending.
- Re-cover the Jackpot Drift series. Two covers are done and I did some work on the third.
- Stretch goal: audio stuff. At the very least, figure out the voices. Oh, hey, didn’t even touch this. Surprise!
It turns out I don’t get much work done while traveling, especially if I’m on vacation. Anyhow, I’m giving myself a B-minus, mostly for my terrible planning.
January Goals
Some of these may look familiar…
- Write weekly episodes on the Kindle Vella dragon serial.
- Create two digital bonus things for my amazing Patreon supporters.
- Finish the rough draft of Theoretical Magic (the urban fantasy novel).
- Re-cover the Jackpot Drift series.
- Audio: figure out the voices. (Surely I can get at least this part done!)
I’m aiming for an average of 2024 words/day. I may face-plant on that goal.
