My Goals For 2024!

January 17, 2024January 18, 2024

Happy New Queer! It’s only bloody 2024, innit?!

Another year dawns, and I’m finally getting down to my goals. To committing them to paper. Well, *website* if we’re being really strict, but you know what I mean. I’ve finally sent London Ever After – London Romance Book 9 – to the editor (can I get an amen?), and now it’s time to empty my head about what I’m doing other than publishing that. A little like last year, I’m also putting my health and well being first. But I promise to publish more than one book in 2024. You have my word. Here’s what else I’m planning… Continue reading » “My Goals For 2024!”

My Goals For 2022

January 6, 2022

After the year that was 2021, I’m putting 2022 on cruise control. I know what I want to get done, but if it doesn’t get done, so be it. I think we could all benefit from a year of ‘whatever!’ In saying that though, I’m still a Virgo who likes order, so goals I shall make. Ready for them? Here goes…

2020: Half-Year Goal Check-In

July 4, 2020July 5, 2020

At the start of the year, I set out ten goals. But back then, we had no idea what 2020 had in store for us, did we? With everything that’s happened since, I was trepidacious about finding out how I’d done. But you know what? I’ve not only done well, I’ve smashed many of my goals for the first six months of the year! I couldn’t be happier. Here’s my round-up of January to June… Continue reading » “2020: Half-Year Goal Check-In”

My Goals For 2020

January 14, 2020January 14, 2020

1 – Write a schedule.

I’ve done this already! First goal ticked off! Now I just need to remember to look at it and take action. Simple, right? I managed to do it last year, but it tailed off after August. The reason? I needed a break. More balance is needed this year so I don’t conk out part-way through 2020. Work consistently, maintain my physical health, and get help where it’s needed. I also plan to reassess my schedule every quarter, as well as writing down wins and where I could improve. I’ll bring myself a strong coffee to sweeten the deal.

January 9, 2018

It’s 2018! Holy moly, how did that happen? But happen it has, and having been away for the past month, I’m raring to tackle the year and try to stay sane during the process. Will I succeed? Only time will tell. Here’s my goals for the coming 12 months in lesbian fiction…

Round-Up Of 2016 Goals: How Did I Do?

January 3, 2017

Back in January 2016, I set out my goals for the year – the first time I’d ever done so in public. You can read the post here. So how did I do? Seeing as I didn’t actually check my goals after March (for shame!), actually not too badly. 2016 was the year I ramped up my production of books, so come with me as I look back on my goals for 2016 and see what happened along the way…
