My Writing Plan: Week of October 24, 2021
This is the last week of October… the imminent start of National Novel Writing Month is beginning to intrude and make it hard for me to focus on the current WIP… my mind wants to be brainstorming the NaNo project, cleaning my desk, making freezer meals, and obsessively re-checking my (mostly done) to-do list over on Asana. I did get the new cover for Coveted Mate, and it’s gorgeous!! I’m still on schedule to release it in March, 2022, and it’s available for pre-order on Amazon, Apple, B&N, Google Play and Kobo đŸ™‚
Weekly Progress:
Coveted Mate: 1,361 words
NaNoWriMo Prep!
Yes, it’s Preptober! National Novel Writing Month is coming up, and October is the prep month! I have a checklist on Asana that I save and use from year to year, of things to be done before November. At this point it’s still mostly thinking up plot points for this year’s NaNo project, and making freezer meals. The morning of October 31st is when my life gets nasty with a ton of things to get done to be ready to dive into writing at midnight… I can’t wait! đŸ™‚
Also, last but not least, please subscribe to my monthly newsletter and keep up on important news, previews, cover reveals, and so forth, as well as a monthly excerpt from either published books or works in progress, and a Recipe of the Month!
