Setting goals…

2024 edition.

Happy New Year!

Hopefully, I will accomplish most of these goals this year…

Bonds of Magic series:

• Continue to query Seeds of Power.

Dreamcatcher series:

• Edit book one based on feedback from my writing group.
• Write a draft query letter for Dreamcatcher and synopsis.
• Finish edits for books 3-4. I successfully edited book two and part of book three last year, moving some series plot reveals up in the timeline for better pacing.

Red Hour:

• Finish this 85% drafted standalone novel. I did some great work on the first half of the book last year, adding new scenes to keep up the intensity and develop the plot and characters more. I really want to finish this book because I think that if my Seeds of Power querying strikes out, this one could be a stronger sell.

Other:

• Maintain book reviewer presence using Bookish First, NetGalley, BookSirens, and other ARC or book tour opportunities.
• Continue to grow fun and successful bookstagram account.
• Attempt to grow Facebook page following/engagement.
• Continue to Beta and/or ARC read to support more writers creatively and with publicity.
• Decide what to do with the short story I rewrote last year—publish here on my website so people can get a sample of my style, save it for a freebie when people join my newsletter (to be launched later), or submit it to contests.

Wish me luck in 2024!
