JANUARY WRITING & FEBRUARY GOALS

 Ah, it's that time again, where I talk about what I did and didn't get done for the month. So I actually had a couple of exciting things come up at the end of the month, but other than that, it was just nose-to-the-grindstone type work for RealmieWriMo. 

My January goals were to...

*Finish revisions for CSAL
*Revise WBCM
*Work toward publishing Rooted
*Begin writing Super Secret Project C

My January accomplishments...

As part of RealmieWriMo, I finished revisions and proofread CSAL--preorders now live--and I revealed the cover! We're almost to the finish line, folks, and I'm more than ready to have this pup out in the world. I was also able to work on major revisions for WBCM, including cover tweaks and figuring out the overarching plot for the rest of the series, which needed redone. I also wrote the first chapter for the next book in the series, BB4, and am looking forward to writing that one. It's cute. Finally, I started exploring a couple of side-quest projects, like Project A, which I'll continue working on at my leisure. And not only did I begin writing Project C, I finished writing it! It was a hoof to get it over the finish line at the end of January, but we're there and I am so glad. Now for...revisions...*deflates* 

But the exciting things for this month? First of all, I asked my pastor if he would write a foreword for my upcoming devotional, Rooted, and he really knocked it out of the ballpark! I'm finishing one final run-through with proofreading and will be ready to roll for an April release date. Plus, I sorted the cover out after literally spending years working on concepts and not being satisfied with any of them. (Oof.) 

Finally, and this isn't an accomplishment of mine because I had no clue it was coming until I got a message on Facebook, but an excerpt from Back to Him, my devotional, was read on-air for a local radio show, In the Vineyard, hosted by some friends of mine! My brain is still melted by that fact. And if you want to catch the hosts of In the Vineyard, you can listen live anywhere from www.WDADradio.com on Sundays at 8:30-9:30am EST. Many thanks to them, once again!
