Last week I went on and on about 2021. 🙂 This week, just briefly, I wanted to share my goals for 2022!
- Self-publish some books. First on the list is Gallery of Myth, a contemporary humor and fantasy mix-up novel that I first wrote years ago. This month and next, I’ll be brushing the dust off it and bringing it into the light! Gallery will be my guinea pig for self-publishing, and if it goes well I may do more in the future. Of course, it’s also a really fun story in its own right, and I’m excited to share more about it next week!
- Keep querying. That’s right, I’m keeping both routes open for now. The good thing about the fact that I’ve always had my nose stuck in a notebook/word doc is that I have a lot of material to work with — and while some of those stories are better for self-publishing, I’m going to keep querying some others as well.
- Grow online! In last week’s post I talked a lot about social media and the communities I’ve found — and all the things I’ve learned. Well, here’s hoping that will continue exponentially this year! Maintaining an online presence feels a bit like building a sandcastle without knowing when the tide will come in, but if I can have confidence in anything, it’s in the fact that I can do better.
- And on that note — feed that confidence. This is probably the least tangible but most important of my “author goals” for 2022. Like building a web presence, it can feel a bit shaky at times. But I’ve already made big strides, and I intend to keep going. 🙂
Oh, yeah, and I guess since I’m a writer I should write? 😀 That part happens whether I write it down as one of my goals or not, haha.
2022 is going to be a big year around here! I hope it brings lots of new adventures and good things your way, as well. 🙂
