Let's see what was on the agenda for 2024 and how I did.
New books I hope you'll see in 2024:
Frayed - out with ARC readers RELEASED!
One Shot At The Sphinx - in the last round of edits RELEASED!
Laya's Vacation - waiting for illustrations RELEASED!
Projects I hope to get to or wrap up in 2024:
Godmother - currently just notes I did start this one. So yay? Is it wrapped up? Nooooooo
i9 - first draft in progress First draft complete! Hooray!
Interface - first draft in progress Ooooooh, yeah, so uhh..... FAIL. AGAIN. Sorry, Interface.
On the bonus side, I did write Nugget the Space Chicken, which wasn't even on my list (currently out for edits and a reading by my target audience). Woohoo!
Other goals for 2024:
As always, I'm hoping to read more. I have so many books on my TBR stacks and on my kindle. I did get at least one if not three books read a month, so I'll call this a win. Did I also add to my TBR stacks so I looks like I accomplished nothing? Yep.
I'd like to get out in my flower garden more. We'll see if my body cooperates. I did return to the flower garden and cleaned out / replanted several large sections, redid my stone stairway, AND built a large raised vegetable garden out of five pallets full of very heavy blocks. #muscle
Maybe work a little less. Yes, I'm laughing at that one while looking at my 2024 events over there on the right, but we're back to that hope thing. On paper, I did work less. A little. I only did one book event Sept - Dec so yay me. The down time would have been fantastic had I not also taken on two exchange students in Sept for the rest of the school year. Are they fun kids? Yep. Are we having a good time? Yep. Am I relaxing? Umm Nope.
Which brings us to... Goals for 2025:
Publish Nugget the Space Chicken
Publish I9
Finish writing Godmother
Finish writing Interface (Shaking my head at this one. Poor Interface)
Survive the 27 events I already have booked
Read two books a month
Keep working on the overgrown flower garden
Breathe
Did you have a good year? Do you have goals for the year ahead?
