Happy Fourth everyone! To celebrate, I decided to post on my quarterly goals and make new ones for this upcoming third quarter. Let’s see how I did this last quarter!

1. Get major edits for TFG done that got covered in beta reads up to this point.

–This got done, but I would have liked to have been able to do more because I’m not happy with the MS right now.

2. Research editors for TFG.

–Done!

3. Continue to manage blood sugar.

–I didn’t do as good as I would have liked. I call this one a failure.

4. Continue exercise regimen.

–I did this. :3

5. Post extras for The Moon-Eyed Ones and TFG.

–I sorta did this. I still would like to do more.

6. Do a promotion for The Moon-Eyed Ones.

–I did this. I ran a Facebook ad, but I’d like to do more.

7. Actually get active on social media.

–Fail here…again.

8. Outline and start TFG Book 2

–Did this!

9. Maintain weight, dang it.

–Nope. Fail.

10. Set up a marketing plan for TFG.

–I did this. I made a marketing plan, but the key is actually implementing it.

11. Research publishing options.

–Done.

12. Research possible cover artists.

–And done.

That’s 8 out of 12, which means I won this quarter. 🙂 I am really going to challenge myself this next quarter, so here are my future goals.

1. Rework TFG 1 and have it ready for the professional developmental edit by October 1st.

2. Start Writing Advice Wednesdays and Four Gods Fridays Q&As.

3. Maintain blood sugar.

4. Keep exercise regimen.

5. Do a promotion for The Moon-Eyed Ones.

6. Post more extras for TFG. 

7. Continue work on TFG 2.

8. Read and finish at least 2 books on reading list.

9. Practice/review speaking and writing Mandarin for 1 hour at least 3 times per week.

10. Have a personal spa day at least 1 day per week.

We’ll see how I do this quarter! 🙂 For all my American readers, enjoy your holiday and stay safe! Hope everyone else has a great day!
