February accountability; March goals!

1 Comment

I’ve gotten so much done in the last week!

Not. I may have only posted these last week, but fortunately, I did work on them all month.

February goals

  • Launch Spy Noon—check!
  • Prep the second half of Spy Another Day #3 and take it to critique group—check! A ton of work, but we all got through it.
  • Finish gathering materials for my next writing craft book, and write new materials to fill in the gaps—check! This came together really fast, but I do still have some work to do here.
  • Send next writing craft book to beta readers—check! Thanks, betas!
  • Get covers for my next two writing craft books—one done, the other is in concept state. (Hint: if you want a sneak peek, subscribe to my newsletter!)
  • Gather materials for next-next writing craft book—not yet.
  • Write enough to stay sane—nope, unless editing counts.
  • Start reading for Whitney Awards—yep! Fair to excellent so far.
  • Prep for a family gathering for a big milestone for my son! Yep! It was wonderful.

March goals

  • Host the goal-setting challenge for my writers’ group, the March-a-thon. (Which helps with everything else!)
  • Enter rewrites from critique group suggestions on Spy Another Day 3.
  • Begin the deep edit on Spy Another Day 3.
  • Enter beta feedback on next writing craft book & finish writing out examples.
  • Prep that book for publication.
  • Make cover and gather materials for next-next writing craft book.
  • More Whitney award reading.
  • Write a novella (gulp!)

That’s only eight things, right? 😉

What are you working on for March?

One thought on “February accountability; March goals!”

  1. Great goals! Of course I’m excited to read your next novella and the third full book in your Spy Another Day series!! 🙂

    I’m reading books for the Whitney Awards too. I thought I had plenty of time, but it is coming up so quickly and I still have 29 of the 40 I wanted to read (all of them) left. Yikes! And there’s only four weeks to go. I can do 7-8 books a week on top of my tour books, right? Probably not, but we’ll see. Can you tell that I’ve been thinking about this today? The kids all have Spring Break next week, so I won’t be spending time helping with homework every day, but I don’t know if that will mean that I’ll have less or more time. Probably less.

    Good luck with the rest of March!
