Ok folks. It's Sunday, time for an accounting, at least for me. I've decided that if I review my goals and successes each week I'll come closer to accomplishing them. That said...
Finish scholarship proposal (it only needs a little editing)
Nope
Send scholarship proposal to 4 places
nope again, can't send it out until it's finished.
Get WWH, my christian fiction, in some kind of shape so I know where I'm at with it.
Started, hopefully will finish this today.
Send out $100 worth of queries daily (Monday through Friday, going to coast on weekends)
Oops, completely forgot this one.
Send press release for
Devoted to Quilting to all newspapers I have any sort of connection with (family lives there or I grew up there, something. So far I've listed 10.
Sent 5, made list of others bringing total to 30, 25 to go.
Send notices about book and offer to give presentation to every quilt group I can find in Oklahoma. Starting with 5 each week.
Check. Five done.
Post on Devoted to Quilting blog once a week.
Check
These last three are to help me reach my goal of selling 5,000 copies a month which will help me reach my goal of selling 50000 copies in a year. Lofty goal, but I think it can be attained. Heck, I've already had one foreign sale, Thanks to Rebecca (Laffer-smith). Anyone else need a devotional/inspirational book of quilt stories?
Revised this to sell 10,000 copies in a year. That still gives me enough money to do the remodel, and enough copies to impress myself.
Main goal is to get into a habit/routine of working towards one or more writing goal each day.
Yes and no. Did a lot of planning and checking things out, not as much actual doing as needed.
Ok, that's my progress for this week. Next week will be better.
Congratulations to those of you moving at a good clip. Writerinthewind, submitted story to contes, updated blogs, and wrote 2 articles. You're on a roll.
ravenlea, remember to give yourself some credit for your accomplishments. You're doing great and you've added three anthologies. Not shabby girl.
Jenn, you make my head swim with all you do AND you have your shiny new book to pormote now. Yeehaw! I'm sure you've thought of this, the tourist areas of Maine when tourist season begins. You'll sell out.
Auto, nice to see you, sorry it was to report a rejection. I like your attitude about it. I'm looking forward to your next post of an acceptance.
Amy, you're on firah what with all your presentations, radio gigs, blog and such. I wanna be you when I grow up.
(shhh, we won't tell anyone that I'm probably older than you)
I'm sure I missed someone. I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional, but my brain is small and doesn't hold information for long periods of time. I know everyone is doing great.
