2017 Goals

It’s (past) time to set my goals for 2017 down on this page. I need to do this every year to keep myself focused… at least a little bit.

This year is going to be one of doing a lot of things behind the scenes. That stuff isn’t particularly sexy, but it does need to be done. For example:

• Create an Author Guide for Pen and Kink
• Formalize the Style Guide for Pen and Kink

There are some things that are more visible, however. These make for much more entertaining goals 🙂

On a demon-y level I want to:

• Publish “Circles Within Circles”
• Edit and publish “The Longest Night”

Under Glass for “She’s on the Bottom” I want to:

• Edit and publish “The Coolest Wife Ever”
• Publish a collection of all the “She’s on the Bottom” stories

Related to “Paranormal Circus” Under Glass I want to:

• Finish writing and editing the untitled novelette/novella? about Ben and Maggie
• Write at least one more story in this series.
  • Preferably two 😉
• Write and share a holiday-themed story set in this series

I’ve also got some editing and publishing-related goals. First, for editing:

• Release and promote kINKED — beating the sales I had for Rough Edges
• Have a successful submission period for the anthology I’ll be co-editing with Laura Harvey (details to come)
• Read submissions to the World Weaver Press open submission period with an eye toward picking up one paranormal romance to edit in 2017 for publication in 2018
• Edit the Enchanted series (all three books)

And lastly, as a micro-publisher at Pen and Kink

• Publish and promote kINKED
• Publish and promote Legendary edited by Laura Harvey
• Publish and promote Ravenous edited by Ariel Jade
• Line up an editor for the third book in the series
• Continue to promote our existing titles. In part through a big sale in February.
• Prepare the Enchanted series for release in early 2018
• Publish the Demon-y and Under Glass stories mentioned above
  • This is kind of a repeat from my goal above… but kind of not
