Trying something new

I often see people writing out their weekly or monthly goals on their blog, and it's a great idea. I've never done it before, but this week I REALLY need it. I've got a bunch of leftover stuff from last year I need to finish off, plus some new things to work on and if I don't write them down and make myself accountable - I might put it off forever! I doubt I'll make this a regular thing but when I really need to get my bum in gear, I will write out what needs to be done for everyone to see. Feel free to throw things at me next week if I haven't ticked most of it off!


Schedule all blog posts I have for other bloggers to promote/reveal covers so I don't have to do it at the last minute

Post prizes from Blindsided Blog Tour (Some have already gone out, but I still have more to do)

Write up guest post for Cassie Mae's blog and email it

Read a couple more chapters of The Fire In Fiction

Finish Rouge by Leigh Talbert Moore - I'm nearly done, but I keep getting distracted by all the other things I need to do

Quit daydreaming, I don't have time (LOL!)

Oh ... and write!

Argh, it looks scary when written down lbut I like that it isn't just spinning around in my brain anymore! Time to get moving!

    I wish you luck with all your tasks... except one--don't ever stop daydreaming!

      Hee hee, I would normally say the same to anyone who wanted to give up daydreaming but, honestly, it's killing my productivity!

    Good luck with your goals! It's so important to write them down, something I've been avoiding but I need to buckle down and jot them on paper. (:

    Writing blog posts ahead of time really pays off.

    It's good to write down goals--keeps perspective.

    Happy writing!

    Stop daydreaming! -Um- so guility over here! That's the worst for me. I am always someplace else in my head, LOL

    I hope you meet all of your goals this month. Let me know if writing them down helps. I need some type of schedule/accountability for myself too.

      Unless you're daydreaming so often you stop writing completely ;)

    If you don't set goals, how will you know if you've accomplished anything? I think those are all doable.

    Good luck. I find that writing it down really helps me. Then I get to cross them out with a nice thick pen. So satisfying...

    I sometimes find writing myself goals helps to motivate me, especially if I've made my intentions public.

    And you can't stop daydreaming - you're a writer!

    I love setting goals! (I love hitting them too, though that is perhaps a rarer occurrence.) I like breaking them down into something quantifiable, preferably with a checklist so I can feel accomplished.

    Good luck with yours!

IWSG- Finding My Way Back

  I haven't done an IWSG post in years, but it's nice to be back!  And I guess that is what my post will be about today.  Over the last few years, and probably since I stopped blogging, I lost my way a bit. I've met a LOT of authors on Facebook and have made some amazing friends, but there is nothing quite like the support of the blogging community.  But now I have to find my way back in. Do people remember me? Do people want to know what I've been doing? It's quite scary coming back after being away. Thankfully, those who have found me have been so welcoming!  But it's not just about finding my way back with blogging. I am still trying to find my feet in terms of writing again. Two years of hardly any words coming out has messed with my head.  Can I still write as well as before? If not, will it come back over time? And again, will the people who used to read my books still want to hear from me?  I look at the books I've released and wonder where those inc

Bloghop of Joy

Good morning! It's time for the Bloghop of Joy!, hosted by myself and Clare Dugmore! In these cold, winter months, everything can seem kind of ... bleak. However, every now and again, something small will happen that makes us smile again. It could be a random memory, something you see on TV, overhearing something that makes you laugh out loud - just that one thing that makes the clouds part, and the sunshine appear again. We're not talking life-changing moments, just the little things that inexplicably make us smile. All you have to do to be a part of this happy hop is sign up on the Linky List, and on March 1st, post your list of joy - with a minimum of five things that put a spring back in your step!  So, what is on my list? The Ducktales theme tune Seriously, I can be in the worst mood ever, but as soon as I hear this, everything seems better! The sound of a baby laughing Is there anything more adorable than the chuckle of a small child? Puts a smile on my fa
