Goals for 2024

 

I've been setting my writing goals for 2024. My Top 3 are:
1. Publish book 2 of the Chronicles of Nadavir series during the summer of 2024.
2. Send my monthly newsletter and add one activity each month to the Nadavir Kids Club.
3. Retake Sarra Cannon's Publish and Thrive course in February to refresh my publishing skills.
Have you set any goals for 2024? Would you care to share? We can support each other throughout the year!

Ping's Faery Inspiration

 

I’ve been hard at work on book two of the Chronicles of Nadavir. The second book features all four of the main characters of the first book but focuses on one in particular: Ping, a pixie faery. While working on the final illustrations for the book, I’ve had to rely on my imagination and a faery statue that is close to my heart.
There are some differences between Ping in the book and the statue, especially in Ping’s looks. But the attitude is very much the same. Every time I’ve gotten stuck, I’ve had a conversation with little Ping, the statue, and she’s led the way in the creative direction of her story. After all, she knows best!

Goal Setting

 

Thinking about setting goals for 2024?
Remember that curves, cliffs, high hills, valleys, and detours are
all parts of the process for reaching goals!
