Hey friends! So I’m a little late to post these, but better late than never, right? Anyway let’s start with my quarterly goals from summer and see how I did!

**Have The Moon-Eyed Ones ready for publication
—Done! It’s actually published. 🙂

**Decide whether to go traditional or self-pub
—Done. See #1.

**Increase social media presence
—This is half a win. I’m doing more than I used to, but not as much as I’d like.

**Create yoga and exercise regimen
—Did this one!

**Finish outline for next MS
—Did this too!

**Complete at least 25,000 words on next MS
—Pfft. No. Fail on this one, I’m only 6,000 words in.

**Get a mailing list
—Didn’t do this one either.

**Write a query for The Moon-Eyed Ones
—I did this too, but I ended up self-publishing. It was a good exercise, though.

**Manage blood sugar better
—For those that don’t know, I have Type 2 Diabetes and was actually diagnosed right before the quarter. But my A1C went from a 9.6 in May to a 6.4 in August. This one is a major win!

**Research more on self-publishing and costs of cover designers, formatting, and publishing
—Did this and published. 🙂

Alrighty, so that’s 8 out of 10. Woo! Now for my Autumn/Winter goals for the remainder of the year.
