2018 Goals and a Look Back

Happy New Year!!!

This is my favorite time of year. A fresh slate. New goals to break down. Chilly nights snuggled up with my dreams and my planner. <3

Last year was filled with a lot of personal ups and downs, but I kept my head down and made a good bit of professional headway. One of the biggest leaps I made was starting a new series and releasing my debut novella!

We also added a new guy to our household:

Vader & Meelo
The new guy is the one on the right, and he's made himself quite at home already. I'll probably do a separate post on how he's fitting in later this month.


Goals for 2018

In the year ahead, I plan to finish my Cajun Two-Step series and write a few short stories set in that same world. I'm already working on one of those, a prequel story involving the main character of book two.

I'd also like to get back to working on the mystery romance series I started and put aside for a while. I probably won't be publishing the first story this year, but I want to clean it up, plan out a little more of the series, and get to work on the second book.

With all of that and my freelance work, I've got a ton to keep me busy! But I'm also trying to connect more this year. I spent a lot of time Making Things Happen last year, but I isolated myself and lost touch with people more often than I liked. So I'm also making it a point to post here (at least a couple times a month), to keep in touch with friends on social media, and to be more present more often with the people I love.

I hope you're having a great start to the new year, too, whether you're goal setting, working hard for your dreams, or taking a well-deserved break. Wishing you all a wonderful year ahead!
