Underlined is the goal/task
Italic means wins (unless it's a title.)
Bold means fails
Italics and bold means progress
Finish at least one write/read through of Oh, The Lamented. | Well, kinda, not really. It's slow, but steady work for OTL.
Do writing camp and keep up with my writing goals. | YESSSSS! I did it! I did it! I did it! I mean I didn't do as much in OTL as I hoped to do, but I wrote a short story, finished a half written short story, started a novella, and edited another short story so that was great! Anyway, I hit my goal of 20,000 words and even went over a bit!
Read a book or two. | Did it, done, went well, shall I go on? I read several good books for my Christmas reviews and loved them.
Read all of Matthew and Proverbs. | I failed, majorly...
Read some of Psalms. | Same as above. In reading the Bible by myself I don't often read as planned... I read random books of the Bible, but my family does devotions together... Aka I need to read myself and make it a prority.
Finish going over the submissions for Seize the Night. | So done and ready for release day on the 3rd!
Format, and finish the anthology | Yessss, done! It ended up taking the normal amount of time plus three days with a few major issues and a melt down or two, but it happened.
Decide on launch prep for Seize the Night. | Did it! Everything is going to be shared this week.
Do baking for my birthday, Thanksgiving, and have a video call bake party with a friend. | Yesss, I have done so much baking and cooking... I did that video call with my friend, and it was so much fun and I made almond butter, pumpkin, triple chocolate, key lime, and cherry mini cheesecakes, and a graham cracker crust pumpkin pie... I also made corn bread randomly, for no reason, lol, and for Thanksgiving I made stuffing, green bean casserole, gravy, macaroni and cheese, mini sweet potato casseroles in tiny pie tins, mashed potatoes... With leftovers I made turkey sliders, a turkey sub, and a turkey pot pie. With leftovers from my birthday breakfast treat that Mom made, I made apple crumble pie. I also made avocado toast with egg yolk and fresh salsa, and a few mini pizzas from the left over rolls, salami pizza, and cheese pizza.
Send out a newsletter or two... We'll see! | Things changed and I'm sending out two newsletters in December so, no.
Finish making a new playlist, I've been meaning to do this for like two months so it's going on my hope to do list. | Got two of my sisters' help with this and I actually started one for my new novella project!
Keep up with everything I need to do around the house. | Did it... Even with getting a cold the first week and a half of the month then being better for like two days before we got another bug which wasn't fun.
Do 5-10 blog posts. | Done! I am loving being back at blogging! Technically, I didn't post them, but I wrote way more than 5 blog posts so this is a big win. I did post exactly 5 posts though, so that was nice.
Post 3 or more times a week on Instagram and Facebook. | Did it! Social media is my love/hate relationship as an author.
Bible journal twice a week. | Total fail... But that was really because I was pretty much coughing the whole month and I often had headaches due to two bugs we got. Though it was no where near as badly as it would have been if it had been a year ago, I am so thankful to God for the healing He's given us.
Reveal covers for Oh, The Brave. | Did it, sorta... Kinda a fail in how long it took me, but by the end of the day it was done!
Make freezer meals... Mostly things to grab out for lunch. | Done, done, done! It is so wonderful to be making meals and actually having meals I can make and freeze!
December To Dos!
