Another year in my writing life has passed… and December is almost bye-bye, which means it’s time to do a 2015 writing goals recap.


How did I do? Did I accomplish all of them? Well . . . no 🙁

Again, just like last year. Double 🙁

Again, there were . . . reasons. *cough cough* excuses!

Unlike last year, this time there was nothing to get in the way like obtaining a publishing contract or a literary agent. Still, there was some work revamping older projects, work that happened behind the scenes and didn’t help with publishing new books in the short term, but surely will help down the road. Probably 2017 *long face*

Still, I wrote 2 new novels and a novella that will come out next year. So that’s good.

To get on with it, this is my original post: 2015 Writing Goals

And here is the recap:

  • Goal #1: Write the sequel to Ignite The Shadows

    Status: This is done *dances around* Check out Eclipse The Flame’s page for more info. As of this post, I’m working on edits for Harper Voyager and it’s going great!

  • Goal #2: Write 2nd Book in The Morphid Chronicles, Keeper. The 1st installment, came out in June of 2014. The goal is to write and publish the sequel this year. I’m very excited about coming up with a cover design and working with my editor!

    Status: There is a cover and the book is written, though it wasn’t published this year and I don’t have a date, just a ballpark of first quarter of 2016. Check out Ripper’s page for more info. So I don’t know, I guess that means I’m about 90% done?

  • Goal #3: YA Sci-Fi ~ I’ve had this amazing idea for a sci-fi story that makes me go tingly all over every time I think about it. If I do this right, this story could be epic, something in the vein of Cloud Atlas but YA, of course. I’m dying to write this!
  • Status: Couldn’t get to it at all *ugly cries* There’s been some light plotting going on, but that’s just because I can’t help myself 🙁

  • Goal #4: Write an Ignite the Shadows novella. This was a new goal as of November 1st, 2015. Since I couldn’t get to goal#3, I had to think of something!

    Status: First draft done! *wooot*

Time to get those 2016 goals ready!!

Hey! And how about your goals? How did you do? Did you accomplish them? Leave me a comment 😉
