I am pleased that for a change I have a release schedule ahead of me for the next four months, instead of scrambling to put books out at the last minute. Of course, now I have to stick to that schedule! My December goals will be to get as much done to support those books now while I have some time-- writing blog posts in advance, getting the covers done and putting up pre-order links. Neil Plakcy

I finally have a full draft of my WIP (except for the love scene) which is due to my publisher 1/1/2020. So my only goals are (1) write a believable sex scene (2) get the ms in shape for publication.
Not too much pressure. Catherine

Get a complete draft of my NaNoWriMo project. I'm thankfully not burned out on the story this year, so I think getting a finished draft is doable. Probably end of January, since I'm trying to keep my daily word count to something practical.

My goals are to complete a readable draft of my R&R to send to my beta readers by mid-December and begin revising my cozy with hopes of going on sub in January.

Right now I’m in New Mexico on a two week writing trip. I’m three days in and just now settling into the writing. My goal is to walk away from here with at least 20,000 words. I have lots of work to do figuring out the plot. It’s a wonderful location to concentrate on my WIP. Anne Anne Laughlin | Broker @properties 3101 N.

Complete Book 5 of my Charlie Mack Series. I have a spring publish date. But the book is fully outlined, and I'm 2/3rds done. Publisher also asked if I was doing a second book for 2020. Sigh. Need to decide. ch

To finish incorporating beta reader feedback into my mss for the first in a new series, write a bang-up query letter and be ready to go after the holidays.

I almost finished the rough draft of my WIP last month, so I want to finish that.

I am launching my fifth novel next Tuesday, so I’m jazzed about that. I am also going through Mark Dawson’s massive, in-depth Ads for Authors course. So I’m hoping to finish it by monthend, but there is SO MUCH curriculum it may well take me into January. I don’t normally crow about a resource unless it blows my doors off. But this was the case with Mark’s course. So I wanted to share. This isn’t some Author 101, one-hour webinar. And it’s not cheap. I opted for the payment plan. This is an 301-level deep dive for authors with 3+ books published. The videos alone must be more than 20 hours. So far I’ve only run some FB lead generation ads to build up my newsletter subscriptions. In just a few days, I’ve added 100+ subscribers to my mailing list. I’m about to start ads to generate direct sales, but I feel confident about it. The course also includes modules on AMS ads and Bookbub ads. Sorry to carry on.
