"On the wind in February
Snowflakes float still,
Half inclined to turn to rain,
Nipping, dripping, chill."

Welcome to the February edition of the NaNo goals thread, where we state our plans for the month (writing and otherwise) and cheer each other on!
As usual, I'll start us off. I'm sure these goals will look familiar, as they're holdovers from January. I've tweaked a couple - since thirty minutes of exercise a day was just too much in January, I'm aiming for 30 minutes a week in February, and I'm hoping to read three books instead of five this month. I'm trying to dial back some goals since Book #3 in my series releases on February 20th, so I have a fair amount to do to prepare for that. I've created a bunch of graphics with quotes from the book, and I'll be posting those on social media every other day Feb. 1-20. And of course, I have the never-ending request for promo blogs from my publisher - tedious in the extreme.
[ ] 1. Reach 20k words on Book 5 - currently at 10,772
[ ] 2. Read three books - 0 of 3
[ ] 3. Write ten blogs for virtual book tour (starting mid-February) with release of Book #3 in series - 2 of 10
[ ] 4. Write blog about love for publisher's website
[ ] 5. Start "tease" campaign for release of Book #3 - 0 of 10
[ ] 6. Exercise (any kind) 30 minutes each week - 0 of 5
[ ] 7. Lose five pounds before the end of the month - 0 of 5
[ ] 8. Write Sekrit Solstice story

So what are your goals for the month?
