Happy New Year! Thanksgiving to New Years was super busy in our household, and I loved it! I love celebrating the holidays, and Christmas is my favorite holiday by far! The kids also had school off, so we spent time hanging out together cleaning/organizing the house, watching new TV series, and playing board and video games while getting over colds. We had snow fall the week before Christmas, but we had to limit our fun to looking at the gorgeous snowscape from inside our house since we had coughs running through our house.
Onto my December writing recap: nothing new. I couldn’t focus on writing with all our December household activities, so no new updates with writing aside from making the decision to change my Demon Souls series POV from third person to first person. I’m not sure how long it’ll take me to update that so I’m going to push back those releases. I’ve also learned that there really is so much I can do, so I need to simplify my goals even further. I’m hoping that taking a month off means I’ll be refreshed with writing, so here’s to my 2023 writing goals!
My publishing goals for 2023 are the same as what I posted in my November wrap up. I want to update Jane and Gray’s covers and release the paperbacks and have a summer/fall ebook release for the first two books in my Demon Souls series. I’m adding a few non-publishing goals for 2023, too. I’d like to have a complete first draft for Liz’s first book and have close to completed first drafts for Liz’s second book, Rose’s novella, Devil’s novella, and Rage’s spinoff. Those are pretty big goals so we’ll see what happens! If I can do that, then I’ll be in really good shape for 2024!
That’s it for now! Happy New Year and see you in the January wrap up post!
