Why I'm Entering A Creative Convent

What is the point of doing all this if I don’t have goals? None, so I have goals. I am posting them publicly so that I hold myself accountable. Here we go.

Goal 1: The current book will be written and tentatively formatted and Mia, my editor, as gone through half of it. Specifically, the book takes place over the course of six days. Days 1-3 have been edited.

Goal 2: I will market my book daily to get to the base of selling two book each hour on Amazon. I will use this blog, Facebook and Goodreads as my main selling platforms.

Goal 3: Create a second stream of income by writing greeting cards, bring in $500-$1000 a month. I will write and send out stuff daily.

Goal 4: Finish both of the online Great Courses I have on my computer, The History of Spying and The Addicted Brain, and do other book related research.

Goal 5: Read 40-80 pages of a book daily. I have always wanted to tackle a big reading goal and his name is Proust. I am starting that during this time as well as engaging in other reading. I still want to have read 75 book by the end of the year.

Goal 6: Track food and exercise daily

Goal 7: Finish one of my counted cross-stitch projects.

Goal 8: Start on my a secret personal project. This will be a year long mission that I will go into later. These three weeks are part of my prep phase.

Goal 9: NO DISTRACTIONS!!!! This means NO FACEBOOK (outside of posting my blog) NO TWITTER, NO TV, NO TV GUIDE, NO E!, NO IMDB, NO FANDANGO, NO WHIRLY WORD. In short NOTHING THAT IS A TIME SUCK ON MY PHONE, TABLET, COMPUTERS OR TELEVISION IS ALLOWED.

Goal 10: Complete all my goals.

Those are the goals. I think I have made them clear and tangible. If not, then I will alter them as needed. I am going to do this!
