Happy New Year!
Like many of you, I had made resolutions to write more and give myself more time to work on the hobby I love, but I have failed, miserably. So lets start the year off now!
I have made quite the list of projects I want to do this year, the most important is actually get the 3 books in my series published. Just have to coordinate with my cover artist. Maybe if I help her pay the rent while she goes to school... But I thought I would share my proposed projects and maybe it will inspire you to make a project list of your own.
1) Publish my 3 books. As I stated, the reason I haven't is my cover artist. But do you really want to interrupt a Pre-Vet student when you know down the road you get a free Veterinarian? But if your story is done and ready to go at the very least self-publish on Amazon. Or if you are feeling ambitious hawk your novel to a publishing house. At worst, they will just say no, but at least you tried.
2) Outline all my existing and future story ideas. I have several "stories" that I started while in college and when the kiddos were first born but never really took them any where. I figured if I outlined them, one, I would see if they were viable, but, two, get my thinking on them again. You might have those odd story ideas hanging out why not go through them to see what you can do with them.
3) Take one of my outlines and finish one book this year. This is a big, lofty goal. With all that is going on with life I may not get finished, but I'd like to make a good start. Look at it this way, if you want the same goal: Some progress is better then no progress. And it will get you doing what you obviously like to do, write!
Happy Writing!
