Welcome to February! The last few weeks have been a little wet and stormy, but I’ve also managed to go out a few times to stare in dismay at all the weeds popping up all over the place. I guess spring is on its way. Before we get to the goals for February (which I have now misspelled three times already), how did I do in January?
Write weekly episodes on the Kindle Vella dragon serial.DID THIS!Create two digital bonus things for my amazing Patreon supporters.DID THIS!Finish the rough draft of Theoretical Magic (the urban fantasy novel).DID THIS!Re-cover the Jackpot Drift series.DID THIS!Audio: figure out the voices. (Surely I can get at least this part done!)DID THIS! (I’m actually 16 chapters in, so progress is being made.)
But then I added this note at the bottom of my goals: “I’m aiming for an average of 2024 words/day. I may face-plant on that goal.” Ha ha ha! Consider my face planted so hard that I’ll be sprouting like the daffodils hiding among the weeds. I don’t think I’ve hit 2k words in any day yet. Still, I give my January performance an A.
February Goals
- Clean up Theoretical Magic and send it out to my critique partners.
- Write weekly episodes of the Kindle Vella dragon serial.
- Create two digital bonuses for my amazing Patreon supporters.
- Create and load an omnibus for the cozy series. (I’m not sure how many books I should put in, which is why I haven’t done this before now. But I’ll just have to make some decisions.)
- Continue narrating Shift Happens. I’m roughly 55% through the book, so I may be almost done by the end of the month, but I’ll probably have to go back and re-record some things. I’m getting better as I go along, so this may be a two-pass affair.
- February is also Thingadailies month, and I think I’m going to use that to get better at photomanipulation. The cover for Theoretical Magic is going to take some work, and my skills aren’t currently at that level.
