Goal Update 11/28

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.

Goal Update 11/14

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: Idek
  • On Target or Behind: Stalling

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.

Goal Update 10/31

Happy Halloween!

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: Lost in a sea of keywords
  • On Target or Behind: On Target, I guess

Complete!

GOAL 3) SURVIVAL

  • My Goal: 500 WPD, 1500 WPW
  • Where I planned to be: 46500 words
  • Where I am: 43755 words
  • On Target or Behind: Behind

How’s It Going:
I probably won’t hit 50k. Again.

I’m trying not to just write “and then I killed them all, the end” and actually write something that seems like a real ending, but. It’s not great.
