My long term goals are to write a million words and sell 500 ebooks a month. To help me with this, I set smaller goals each month.
My Goals for March Were:
Get through a second round of edits on thesis novel (I put this aside).
Hit 1000 Twitter followers (This didn't happen but I realized it's hard for me to engage on Twitter because my feed is a giant ad. I'm working on finding readers instead of writers to add to my feed).
Get Mailing List Going & Sign 50 Subscribers (This did not happen and sadly it's probably the most important).
Publish Before Hope Dawned (My cover artist is not responding to me but I did get edits made and sent it to my editor. It should be ready to go once I have a cover).
Write a free short for mailing list (Didn't happen)
Write submission package for So You Think You Can Write (I wrote an outline but I'm missing 2 plot points. I'm 20 pages in, but I won't sub until I have 50 solid pages).
Visit 25 blogs/week (This rarely happened)
Loose 10 lbs. (Actually, I gained weight)
Writing that helps me realize I accomplished a lot in March, although I didn't accomplish everything.
My Goals for April Are:
1. Do Pilates EVERY day.
2. Get off candy. (I've been off Coke-Cola 10 days)
3. Finish a draft of His First Lady (50 pages of this will be sub package for So You Think You Can Write).
4.Get Mailing List Going
5. Sub 2 woman's world stories
6. Get this client edit done
7. Visit 15 blogs/week.
What did you accomplish in March? What are your Goals for April?
I think you did quite well. I'm also planning on cutting back on sweets in April. Eventually I'll get into the habit. :-D
ReplyDeleteWriters are almost always readers. I did start a Twitter hashtag " #RR #ReaderThuRsday " ages ago, but it never caught on. Feel free to search it and you'll find about 50 tweets that will lead you to plenty of readers, nearly every one who will follow you back.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on more goal-getting next month. :)
