First, let’s get into the half-yearly catch-up

I’m not going to mention what I had already done in January before blogging recommenced, so I’ll start with everything else.

You can catch up on the full post back here…

What’s already in the making for this year…

– 1 – The print version of last year’s stories is done and will be released in March 2019 as a trade paperback, large print paperback, casebound hardcover and dust jacket hardcover.

– 2 – ALL of the Bones books will be released in casebound hardcovers, dust jacket hardcovers, and large print paperbacks.

Only the trade paperback of Bones 5 was released, the other print versions, along with the print versions for Bones 1-4, will be released in October in time for Halloween…

What I have planned for the year…

– 1 – Write the next three stories and anthology.

– 1.1 – Type them up, edit them, send them off for editing, edit some more.

– 1.2 – Get the covers done, check the proofs, and release them in e-book, paperback, and hardcover formats in the second half of the year.

– 2 – Finish off the character lists I started and upload them to the tkwrathbone.com website.

– 3 – Try and post to Insta, FB, TW more during the week, and Pin monthly.

– 4 – Overhaul the website and give it a front page.

– 5 – Get a mailing list set up for my books and a newsletter set up on the website.

As you can see, not a whole lot has been achieved, but I generally hit the home run hard. and I completely forgot to upload the character lists. I’ll leave that for the end of the year.

So, let’s get into a June catch-up…

1 – Actually finish off and set the date for the release of the large prints and hardcovers.

2 – Do the one thing that’s most important and that’s to keep writing this year’s books.

3 – Continue looking into, although at this point it’s more like look at newsletters and mailing lists.

4 – Write July’s blog post.

As you can see, I did one thing on the list. Two weren’t done, and one is halfway done. The rough date for release is October 1st.

Okay, so let’s launch into what I want to do in the month of July…and it’s the same because stuff has to be done.

1 – Write this year’s books

2 – Write July’s blog post.

3 – Continue looking into, although at this point it’s more like look at newsletters and mailing lists.

So there you have it, three items for July to do but we all know that only two will be done. Those pesky mailing lists just have me beat.

Meanwhile, here’s June in social media photos…

Let’s catch up with May’s plans first…

1 – Actually finish off and set the date for the release of the large prints and hardcovers, and then release them.

2 – Do the one thing that’s most important and that’s to keep writing this year’s books.

3 – Continue looking into, although at this point it’s more like look at newsletters and mailing lists.

4 – Write June’s blog posts.

Let’s catch up with April’s plans first…

1 – Finish off the proofs for the large prints and hardcovers and figure out some due date.

2 – Use the upcoming school/easter holidays to really get stuck into writing the new stories.

3 – Continue looking into newsletters and mailing lists.

4 – Write May’s blog posts.

As you can see, I did one thing on the list. The rest are in the process of.

Okay, so let’s launch into what I want to do in the month of May…

2 – Do the one thing that’s most important and that’s to keep writing this year’s books.

3 – Continue looking into, although at this point it’s more like look at newsletters and mailing lists.

4 – Write June’s blog posts.

So there you have it, four items for May to do. Hopefully the new books will be available soon.

Meanwhile, here’s April in social media photos…

Let’s catch up with March’s plans first…

1 – Release Five Bone on March 19th in paperback.

2 – Finish the other books so they have an April 1 release date. Did you get that date…?

3 – Write April’s blog posts.

4 – Do the one thing that’s most important and that’s to start writing this year’s books.

5 – Continue looking into newsletters and mailing lists.

As you can see, I did two things on the list, partially did one and didn’t do two. I had a perfectly good reason; I ended up in hospital for 12 hours after being in pain for 12 hours and it wacked me around for a week.

I did get story ideas down on paper and have come up with titles etc, and got the proofs of all five Bones in large print, case laminate, and hardcover dust jackets.

Unfortunately the large prints and hardcovers will not be out April 1^st after all and the date has been pushed back which is annoying.

Okay, so let’s launch into what I want to do in the month of April…

1 – Finish off the proofs for the large prints and hardcovers and figure out some due date.

2 – Use the upcoming school/easter holidays to really get stuck into writing the new stories.

3 – Continue looking into newsletters and mailing lists.

4 – Write May’s blog posts.

So there you have it, four items for March to do. The list will no doubt get smaller as we move through the year and less and less need to be done. Hopefully the new books will be available soon.
