Love, Fear, and Productivity
February is one of my favorite months, and yes, I am very biased towards the month. I have my birthday and wedding anniversary, along with Valentine's’s Day and Friday the 13th this year. I love taking day trips, but unfortunately, after moving, we are still unpacking. Every week, little by little. Kind of how I am getting through my projects.
#ProjectForgotten- The project itself is actually just sitting there. I have formatted the main body, the front matter, and some of the back matter. After submitting the formatted project with its actual cover for printing, I’ll do one final read-through and proofread. I am so scared and so excited, all rolled into one. This project being done and published is something I’m extremely ready for. I originally wanted to have this published in March; it might not be March, but it’s coming.
The printed versions will arrive and I want to have reach through and proofread. Do a final read-through and one last attempt to make any changes.
Set up a newsletter
Finish back matter
Publish and Thrive- Sarra Cannon’s course, I have gone through several times, and as I am so close to publishing my first novel, I want to refresh my knowledge with implementing so many things to publish. I completed Modules 1 through 3.
Complete Publish and Thrive module 4 through 6.
HB90 runs the second week in March. We will print everything and prepare for quarter 2 planning.
Website- www.stellarwolfpublishing.com, a domain that I have owned for years now. I hosted it on Bluehost with WordPress. I am not a coder or a website developer. keeping up with the mods and add on, keeping them updated, and if they don’t update, the site doesn’t work. I want, I needed a new host, more user-friendly. After research, I went with Squarespace. I purchased a year of hosting and transferred my domain over. I am still working on the website before finally publishing it.
Website will be done and published.
Restart the monthly blog.
Instagram- I have three Instagram posts and ten posts for the book release ready to be scheduled. I am the worst with social media; I just have never been the type to overshare, even with my family. I learned with social media that I need to find three things that I use as my focus for my account: write, plan, explore. Write will include my books, my WIPs, my process. Plan includes planners, my love for a notebook, and stationery. Explore includes travel. I love to travel, but I cannot travel nearly as much as I would like, so this also includes local exploration, new restaurants, new stores, and fresh places.
To make posts and be aware of potential posts.
#ProjectLost- I did not work on this manuscript at all; I am only at chapter three.
#ProjectCamp- I had outlined this story several months ago. I have written a short story. I am three sprints into the writing with 1,235 words written in February and totalled.
To finish the short story.
#ProjectSG7 and #ProjectSG8- are all formatted through vellum and printed out in a spiral-bound book. Once they arrive, I will add these two projects to my to-be-edited collection.
#ProjectSG9- Some sickness during February made it almost painful to dictate some nights, whether it was a dry sore throat or a severe headache. But I got three dictation sprints completed, which added 4,489 words from February and in total.
To continue to dictate on my way home from work on Thursday and Friday morning.
