Happy New Year! Welcome to 2019!
A new beginning
It is another new year! Time to write another chapter in that book with blank pages. It’s interesting to me how people think of the new year as a restart, like the change in one digit gives some of us permission to do it. I will admit, there’s something motivating about leaving things behind and looking forward to the future. I am one of those who looks at the new year this way, and smile when the clock strikes midnight on December 31st. Welcome to the new year.
Some of the many good things in 2018,
I got my website created online at selmapverde.com
Enjoyed watching my kids (who are now 17 and 19) play together on the same baseball team this past summer
Enjoyed many family weekends at our cabin up north
Did a couple of book giveaways which put another 24 copies into readers hands
Through a couple of product branding classes, I met a few amazing authors and learned new things to make fun and productive tweaks to my website and business
Started bookkeeping for my sister-in-law’s interior design business. It gave me the opportunity to learn about her business and earn some money to invest in mine.
Looking forward to 2019…
Growing my business by developing sales and marketing strategies to get more copies of my books out there
Creating the draft of book three of The Way Series, title will be released later on this year.
Helping my sister-in-law continue making her business successful
The Bully’s Way, the second book in The Way Series will be going to my editor, Michelle, at Fiction Edit on January 14th. Looking to publish July or August.
Need a copy of The Hard Way? Plenty of time to read it before The Bully’s Way comes out this summer. Here is a link to it. You can also find it in the books tab of my website.
I am looking for some fun coffee shops and away from home locations to work on my writing. I do get quite a bit done at home, but sometimes my writing muse needs to get out of the house and dance in new places. Anyone have any suggestions? Please list them below in the comments! And, if anyone wants to meet up and write let me know. It would be fun to do.
Happy New Year!
