Wow—has January 2023 really flown by?! Home life has been pretty busy, but I think I’ve gotten a bit better with managing writing and being a stay at home mom. I’m still waaaay too optimistic with thinking what I can do, but I can’t change that about me—luckily, I can change and update my goals!
I didn’t get much first draft writing done this month, so I’m not going to be posting my word count graph (~400 words/day if you’re really curious). BUT I finished the first draft to Soul Enchanter AND the first major draft revision to switch the POV from 3rd to 1st! So I’m officially calling January 2023 a successful writing month for me! I tentatively have the end of May as my target for publishing it, so wish me luck!
Aside from polishing Soul Enchanter, I’m hoping to focus on my Andersen Grimm Academy of Elites world in Feb. I’d still like for Liz, Rose, and Devil’s drafts to be mostly done this year, but I’m pushing Rage’s draft off my 2023 goals for now. As for Jane and Gray’s new covers, I’ve got a rough sketch for the first book. I’m hoping to have the new covers done—or at least get a rough sketch for the second book—by the end of Feb!
That’s it for my recap for January. Happy reading!
