Reflecting on Goals
In the midst of birthday celebrations, I took a moment to evaluate my goals for 2024. At the top of my list is a dream I've been nurturing for some time, and one that I have been sharing publicly: publishing Scarlet Skies 1. This novel represents not just a story, but a culmination of countless hours of dedication and passion. It's a milestone I'm determined to reach this year. In fact, I have spring of this year in mind to publish. Stay tuned for the actual release date.
Setting Priorities
While reaching this goal is at the top of my To Do List, I know that reaching this goal requires more than just determination. It requires a sustainable writing routine. That's why another priority for me this year is to cultivate habits that support my creativity and productivity. With Scarlet Skies 2 already on the horizon (with Book 1 not even out yet), I recognize the importance of laying the groundwork now for my future as an author.
Embracing Growth
But growth isn't just about achieving tangible goals; it's also about expanding my horizons and honing my craft. That's why I'm committed to reading more widely this year. With 36 books under my belt last year, I'm setting my sights even higher for 2024. By exploring a variety of genres, I hope to glean insights and inspiration that will enrich my own writing journey.
Being Kind to Myself
Amidst the hustle and bustle of chasing dreams, it's easy to forget the importance of self-care. That's why, above all else, I want to prioritize kindness towards myself. Whether it's taking a moment to breathe, indulging in a favorite hobby, or simply acknowledging my own achievements, I vow to treat myself with the compassion and grace that I deserve.
As I embark on another year of life, I'm filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement for the adventures that lie ahead. From publishing Scarlet Skies 1 to cultivating a sustainable writing routine and embracing the joy of reading, I know that the journey won't always be easy. But with each new day comes the opportunity for growth, learning, and self-discovery. Here's to another year of embracing the journey, one chapter at a time.
