Goal 1) Publish SKoS The Atheist’s Prayer

• My Goal: Spend at least 10 mins, 3 days/week minimum
• Where I planned to be: Spent at least 30 mins
• Where I am: Published!!!
• On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:
I did it! I’m still kinda excited about it/nervous, but I’ve already sold a couple and had at least one person read on Kindle Unlimited. Thank you so much if it was you!

And so concludes all of my goals for this year. “What’s next?” you may be asking.

“Next year,” my sarcastic brain helpfully responds. What’s next is a sequel. And not just one, but absolutely two at minimum. Two.

I’ve got some fun ideas to torture poor Madison and his friends with. And I will continue to blame Matt for any shenanigans that ensue. But damn if he isn’t right.

Goal 1) Publish SKoS

• My Goal: Spend at least 10 mins, 3 days/week minimum
• Where I planned to be: Spent at least 30 mins
• Where I am: Spent a long time
• On Target or Behind: On Target, I guess?

How’s It Going:
Fiddling with all the gizmos and gadgets in Mailchimp to get everything working the way I want is so time-consuming. That on top of trying to finish out the semester… But I only have next week to go for that. And I think I’m almost settled working out Mailchimp’s kinks.

Still need to work out exactly what I’ll be emailing out every month, but ah…

With that said, this thing’s going live soon. So I may as well reveal the final cover and title!

And no, I don’t have an official release date… Sorry not sorry.

Goal 1) Publish SKoS

• My Goal: Spend at least 10 mins, 3 days/week minimum
• Where I planned to be: Spent at least 30 mins
• Where I am: I’ve basically turned this into another part-time job, lbr
• On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:
I’ve actually found some amazing resources (all thanks to Holly Lisle… she didn’t make them, but she and her daughter are using them to promote their books and told those of us on the forums about them), so I’ve been devouring a couple of books from David Gaughran, as well as his free marketing course, and Dave Chesson from Kindlepreneur’s free course as well. It’s a lot to take in, but thankfully I seem to already be on the right path.

Unfortunately for anyone who’s actually waiting for this book… all of the work is frontloaded. Meaning I need to get all of this stuff working before I publish.

But I’m almost there. I just need to gather myself, my content, and link it all together. Then I can start my launch.

Really, it is an exciting thing, but all this thinking has given me a headache.

How’s It Going:
I’m gonna be honest.

I’m scared. I don’t know what I’m doing. I want to do everything right, and I don’t want to waste my time or money, or anyone else’s for that matter.

There’s still a few things I’m looking into before I publish. I do intend to publish before the end of the year, though.
