4-Part WIP Special – Part 2: Current Project Goals
Y’all, I’ve been so scattered over the past week. I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything. :P But I’m back now, and hopefully next week will go a lot more smoothly. (If all goes according to plan, I’ll have a Mirror-Hunter Chronicles cover reveal on Tuesday and start my blog tour for the book on Wednesday!)
But for now, here’s part two of the 4-Part WIP Special for this month. :) Continue reading “4-Part WIP Special – Part 2: Current Project Goals”
4-Part WIP Special – Part 1: Camp NaNo Goals
The 4-Part WIP Special has begun! For those of you who don’t know, it’s a collaborative, almost tag-like series that goes through the month of April (Camp NaNoWriMo) where the participants discuss their writing. This month’s theme is writing goals. Let’s jump in! Continue reading “4-Part WIP Special – Part 1: Camp NaNo Goals”
O: Over-Ambitious Goals
Goal-setting can be both exciting and stressful. Often we make goals at the beginning of the year, promptly forgetting about them or going off the rails. We also make smaller-scale goals for smaller aspects of our life, and generally these are easier for us to reach, but we’re still not perfect. I’m largely talking in this post about the former type, but this also applies to the latter type for those of us who tend to go for overachieving at times or wrongly estimate how much time we’ll have to do things. First, how do we end up making over-ambitious goals? Well, we overestimate our abilities; we tell ourselves we have to get these things done; we decide this is the year we’ll actually do what we said we’d do five years ago… There are a lot of factors that go into making over-ambitious goals. Sometimes we don’t know we’re going to have trouble with a goal until we try, and we think it’s better to shoot too high than too low (which is probably true). But then what do you do when you realize your goal was over-ambitious? Continue reading “O: Over-Ambitious Goals”
My Goals for the New Year
With a new year comes new goals, and mine are probably overly ambitious. But hey, “if you shoot for the moon you may land among the stars.” At least I’ll be farther along than I was. So, without further ado, here are my many goals for 2018.
1. Prepare The Dark War Trilogy for publishing
This was originally “Publish The Dark War Trilogy,” but after scheduling everything out I found that wasn’t doable, so instead I’ll be aiming to have them all finished and edited so they’re ready by the end of the year and I’ll aim to publish them Continue reading “My Goals for the New Year”
