Hello and a very happy Friday to all of you!
Welcome to the new site everyone!
I’m so happy to finally have the new site up and running, now I get to share so much more with all of you. It was no easy task to get this site up and running, technologically impaired and visually impaired isn’t a good combination, but I’m so happy with the way it turned out. Granted there are bound to be some kinks as I still figure everything out so your feedback would be ever appreciated.
One of my favorite things about the new website is all the changes that are coming with it.
For one blogs will now be posted on Fridays instead of Wednesdays. I find that since 2019 started my posts have been late and more commonly posted on Fridays so I just decided to make that my official posting day.
There is also going to be a poem of the month where you can send in your poems and I’ll choose a favorite to be posted with full credits to the author. Depending on how this goes I might make it a poem of the week but for right now it’s on a monthly schedule. I adore poetry and want to get more of it out there and what better way to showcase my love of poetry than by supporting my fellow writers!
To add to the growing list of new things, there is also a working contact page now for any feedback you give or messages you might want to send. I’m still quite new to the whole author platform thing and I’m learning as I go so please try to keep feedback constructive and any messages kind.
The last addition to this new site is still something I’m contemplating on doing. I’ve been thinking of adding in pages for Reaper and my secret WIP. These pages would give you guys an idea of what the stories are about and would also have bonus material like excerpts, character bios, mini stories, and playlists. Let me know if this is something you guys would be interested in!
Now enough about the new sister. It’s March and that means it’s not only time for new monthly goals but it’s also the start of a new quarter as well!
February was a complete fail for me, I struggled a lot with my mental health and by the time I was feeling like myself again I had an eye operation that made it difficult for me to focus on anything for too long. But that was last month and now it’s this month so let the past be in the past and strive to complete these goals.
Spring Quarter (March - May)
March Goals
✅ Remodel new website
This might seem like a cheat to have on my list but it’s a goal nonetheless to complete.
▢ Get Reaper to 50k
I currently have roughly 43k words so this month I have to write 7k words just to reach a solid 50k then in April I’ll return to my usual 20k monthly goal.
▢ Outline secret WIP
I’m excited to start work on this project and I can’t wait to be deep enough into the story to finally share it with all of you. I love outlining so this is going to be fun. Hopefully I’ll be able to get the first chapter or two completed as well but for now my aim is to complete the outlining phase.
▢ Read four books
I already have my TBR list for this month but of course that’s open to change depending on what my mood is at the time.
Any book recommendations would be awesome.
▢ Do four crafts
Crafting has become my break from social media hobby and for the past few months I’ve been doing two crafts but I really enjoy crafting so I went and bought enough supplies, mostly birdhouses, to do four crafts now so it’s rather exciting. Sometime soon I hope to expand to more than just birdhouses and I might be able to make that happen this month.
If you have any crafting recommendations please feel free to share!
▢ Exercise for an hour a day
This is a part of my yearly goal to take better care of myself. It doesn’t always happen but I’ve been getting better about making it happen. I don’t always exercise my body sometimes it’s my mental health because that’s just as important.
▢ Add four new recipes to my cookbook
Cooking is the name of the game and finding new and delicious foods to try is how you play. Here recently it’s been cold so I’m mostly just been trying out soups, stews, and chowders but with it finally beginning to warm up I should be able to move on to other dishes.
Yet again, any recommendations would be wonderful!
▢ Paint my office
This was a goal from last quarter that I just never seemed to get around to so I’m hoping to finally accomplish this and vanquish the white walls soon!
And there you have it folks, an introduction to the new site and everything I hope to achieve this month. Spring is on making its move so it’s time to get things done!
* Happy reading and writing to all and to all a good day *
