It’s that time.
New year, new writer. It’s time to assess what’s happened
and make goals for the coming year.
My assessment is pretty constant. I have issues when I don’t
keep tabs on my psycho-emotional barometer. So this is easy for me.
2017 sucked in so many ways. On the personal life front, it
was a roller coaster of hope and disappointment with a distinct trend towards
the decline. It’s been so bad that, even though it’s true, I’m hesitant to say
it looks like things are going to be improving. I’m talking days of crying from
depression and fear.
I blame my husband, but that’s a different set of thoughts.
(And, no, he’s not abusive or anything. It’s just a crap situation mostly due
to timing and luck.)
On the professional writing front, I marketed my first book
and put out my second. Sales seem to be climbing steadily, if very slowly, and
I see this as a sign that my books will continue to grow slowly but steadily. I
can live with that. At least the arrow is going the right way.
Biggest frustration: just when I promised I wouldn’t be
missing any more vlogs, my built-in camera takes a nose-dive. But I got a
spiffy new camera for the holidays, so I’ll be back in a jiff.
As for my goals, I’m looking forward to completing at least
3 books in 2018. I’ll still be working on sales and vlog and patreon, etc. So,
I guess I haven’t been beaten down!
