Writing Wednesday - 2019 Agenda

Well, I don't think I will actually be to the publishing stage by the end of 2019. This is mainly because I want to be sure I have the second book in the wings to release shortly thereafter before I publish the first one. But I want to have it right on the brink.  So be prepared all of you who volunteered to be a beta reader!

I was wavering on which story I wanted to tell for the first go around. After talking about my 2018 NaNoWriMo story with Savvy, I decided to go with it for my first actual, complete finish. (I am great with ideas, finishing is another story - no pun intended.)

So this is how I have it planned out for 2019 - 

• Fae Trouble - 
• Set up files for the book and set up an area in it for further stories (1/9/19)
• Have the outline/plot for the book done (1/16/19)
• Rough draft to be completed by 6/30/19. Aiming for 20,000 words a month.
• Research covers, publishing, and setting up platforms (6/30/19)
• Do my first edit and get to beta readers (9/1/19)
• Do corrections/rewrite (11/30/19)
• Have ready for publication (12/31/19)
• Knottyneedle Blog - lots of thinking here
• Notebook for blog post ideas and post 5 times a week
• Buy a domain name and redo blog (9/1/19)
• Miscellaneous
• Check out library writing events and attend when possible (1/6/19)
• Check out North Carolina Writers and their writing events and try to attend at least one workshop during the coming year (1/6/19)
• Pull together all my other writing into one spot. A lot of it is on paper and I need it consolidated into one spot.

I have a few things to think about over the coming months, especially in terms with this blog and where I want to go with it. I really enjoy writing and use it to force myself to write. One of my big questions is, do I want to separate my blog from the book platform or keep it all together. 

Many of these questions will play out over the coming year and I'll keep you posted.
