Okay. So I broke that resolution already. But it’s not all bad! I’m gonna keep the others on the list!
Er.
Well. I’m going to try.
So what’s going on for me in the new year? So, so much. In terms of resolutions, I’ve made a new daily wordcount goal: 2000 wpd instead of 1000 wpd. If NaNoWriMo showed me anything, it’s that I can write 2000 wpd when I’m not procrastinating.
I’ve also decided that I’m not going to be buying any clothes this year. I have too many already, and if I get the urge for new clothes, I have stacks upon stacks of fabric and patterns, and a perfectly good sewing machine that I actually like using. So if I want new clothes, I’ll make ’em.
In terms of writing, I have a few things that I’m planning to do in the new year.
Firstly, I’m excited to celebrate MASQUE’s 1st birthday for the month of January (it’s actually Feb 1st, which is when the sale/giveaway/celebration will last until). In pursuance of that, MASQUE is on Wattpad, and I’m currently in the exhausting throes of making a Podiobook of it. I’ll attempt to upload a chapter per week, but I’m still scrambling audio equipment together for the attempt and making dreadful, error-laden practise recordings. Still, the first chapter of MASQUE’s Podiobook should go live this month.
Secondly, I have a busy publication schedule for this year. I’m hoping to finish and publish the third novella in my SHARDS OF A BROKEN SWORD novella. There will also be the second book in my Two Monarchies Sequence, BLACKFOOT; and if I’m very good and very quick, there might even be the third book, THE STAFF AND THE CROWN. In between those two books I’m planning on a shorter companion novella for the SHARDS series, and the second book in my TIME-TRAVELLER’S BEST FRIEND series.
Well, that’s my plan for the new year. What’s yours?
Bring it on, 2016!
All the best with your plans for the year, WR! I would love to get the current WiP finished this year, and actually write all those short stories I keep saying I need to write. One thing I’ve already planned not to do is enter contests–aside from Janet’s flash fiction contests, of course. I want to focus more on trying to get stuff published.
I hope 2016 works out well for you! 🙂
Thanks, Colin! Good luck with your writing resolutions, too; and I hope you and yours have a lovely 2016 🙂
