Let’s catch up with my half yearly plans first…

 

What I had ALREADY done in January…

 

– 1 – Changed the theme for this blog to a more mature look and layout and added several new pages and a better bookstore and book pages.

– 2 – Updated the timeline on the about page.

 

What was ALREADY in the making for this year…was black, now it’s green!

 

– 1 – The release of ALL five sets of TKW’s Bones books in casebound hardcovers, dust jacket hardcovers, and large print paperbacks.

 

What I had planned for the year…

 

– 1 – Write the next six stories and ten anthologies under TKW since none were released last year. AT ALL! So that’s for Six Bone and Seven Bone.

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

– 1.2 – Get the covers done, check the proofs, and release them in e-book, paperback, and hardcover formats October 31st at the latest.

 

– 2 – Continue posting to Insta, FB, TW once a week and pin to my Pinterest boards monthly.

 

– 3 – Get my mailing list for my books done, and set up a newsletter for this website. I just haven’t had the brain power, or enough time in a day to do it, but I did want to overhaul the website first. Which I have.

 

– 4 – Write a reader magnet for that mailing list.

 

That’s the yearly plans. So far the stories have been started, and the books have been released so we’re on track!

 

 

Now let’s catch up with June’s plans first…

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

 

 

– 1 – Write a short story for a reader magnet for my mailing list AND set up my mailing list. (This will be on the list until it’s done)

– 2 – Get June’s blog post done

– 3 – START WRITING THIS YEAR’S STORIES! (This will also be on the list until it’s done)

 

#2 was the only thing that got done, and as you can see, nothing else was. It’s been quite hard to mentally get into writing. I think I hit burn out last year and it’s continuing into this year. I expected to have something ready for editing and releasing, but that just hasn’t happened.

 

 

So let’s launch into what I want to do in the month of June…

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

 

 

– 1 – Write a short story for a reader magnet for my mailing list AND set up my mailing list.

– 2 – RELEASE THE LARGE PRINTS AND HARD COVERS!

– 3 – Get May’s blog post done

– 4 – START WRITING THIS YEAR’S STORIES!

 

#2 was already in the making on the 1st of April, and the books went live on the 20th. They’ve sold well since, so thanks to everyone who bought the hardcovers and large prints.

As for this year’s stories. The idea was to start writing mid-Feb, but with a few personal issues, that just didn’t happen. And here we are May, and it still hasn’t happened. So I’m hoping that now the books are out I can concentrate on writing. But the other thing is, I just haven’t had the want to write. My theory goes by this… “once everything’s out of the way I can sit down and write”. But even on the days I have no business issues to deal with and nothing else to do, I just don’t want to sit and write. I have the ideas, I have the titles, I just need to get my butt in gear and sit down, pick up that pen, get that notebook, and write.

We’ll see what happens.

 

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

This year, I’m going to continue on the route I set up for myself last year. One post on the first of the month.

And as last year, I’ll be talking about what I’ve done in the last month, and what the plans are for the coming month. I’ll post about the new formats for my books as I have large print and hardcovers coming this year, (yes, actually coming THIS YEAR) so I’ll definitely be posting about those.

To get this party started, let’s launch into February 1st’s post containing what I have planned for the year, what I’ve already done so far this year, and what I hope to get done this month. The usual mid-year catch-up and end of year catch-up will also happen, but that will be the basic structure of each month’s blog posts from now on. What I’ve done and what I’m going to do. And once again, green is for done, orange for in the process of, and black for what I have planned.

So let’s get into it.
