I'm late!
This should have been posted over a week ago, but I didn’t get it written in time. For that, I apologize.
To see previous posts in this series, check out the list below:
Below is an assessment of the state of my 2019 goals and updates.
Goal #1: Finish Billie's Story
This is the book I’ve been focusing on most in the past couple months, as it’s been the book I’m most excited about. Right now, though, I’m taking a break because EVERY TIME WE FALL has grown into a super Frankenstein-esque monster, and it’s taking a long time to finish the story.
I’m hoping to the have the book ready to publish by April 2020, but I’m not sure I can make it with such a big book.
STATUS: Goal on target for early 2020.
Goal #2: Publish True Love's Wish Series
Unfortunately, my plans to release ROSES & REVELRY and SPINDLES & SPELUNKING were derailed by over-stressing myself and making my depression worse. I realized I needed to pull back, so while I still intend to publish these fun books, it won’t be for a while. Expect ROSES & REVELRY sometime in 2020.
STATUS: Goal postponed for mental health.
Goal #3: Bring You More Awesome Box Sets!
Due to the mental health issues, I had to pull out of the box sets I’d committed to. I’m not sure when I will be able to handle the outside pressure or want to pursue participating in box sets again.
STATUS: Goal no longer in progress.
Goal #4: Friends-to-Lovers Novella
FOOLS LIKE US is still planned to release in 2020, and I’m excited to share this book with everyone.
STATUS: Goal on target for 2020.
Goal #5: Start a New Series
While TRUE LOVE’S WISH already fulfilled this goal, I had planned to start a new series to release in November. However, this too was postponed for the sake of my mental health.
STATUS: Goal met; new planned series postponed.
Goal #6: Get Organized
Last time I did my goals check-in, my office had been organized but I was working on my laptop. Since then, I got a new desktop and can not work at my lovely L-shaped desk on a reliable computer. I’m very excited.
STATUS: Goal met.
Goal #7: Post Regularly on the Blog
Welp, I definitely dropped the ball on this one. This is the first I’ve posted on here in about three months.
However, I am working on a content plan and intend to have at least one post a week through the rest of the year.
STATUS: Goal going not so strongly anymore.
Goal #8: Join More Book Cons
As I said in my last quarterly report, this goal was postponed.
STATUS: Goal postponed till 2020 or 2021.
Bonus Goal!
I was going to surprise everyone with a short story to be published in December, but I don’t know if I’ll manage to get to it on time. If not December, it’ll publish sometime in early 2020.
But sometime in the next couple weeks, I’ll share about my NaNoWriMo project this November. It’s going to be fun!
STATUS: Goal possibly postponed.
