It’s that time of the year again! New Years Eve, traditionally the night of taking stock and setting resolutions.
If you’ve been by my blog for a few years, you’ll know I don’t do resolutions, though. I set goals. And on my other blog, I check up on my progress every three months to see how I did. December’s check is here.
Today, I’m also taking stock of what I did this past month as part of my Big Dreams Bloghop. Most of the goals I set also go toward my long term goal of earning $7500 royalties per month every month.
But first: What I did in December. Honestly, not a ton. Mainly I rested, but I did make some good progress on editing Birds vs Bastards.
Now, here are my goals for 2014. And yes. I know that this is insanely ambitious. But the way I see it, if I get a quarter of my goals done, I will still have achieved a lot.
