January #IWSG: GOT GOALS?

 


                                                First Wed of Every Month



Let’s rock the neurotic writing world!
Our Twitter handle is @TheIWSG and hashtag is #IWSG.
 
The awesome co-hosts for the January 3 posting of the IWSG are Joylene Nowell Butler, Olga Godim, Diedre Knight, and Natalie Aguirre!

Every month, we announce a question that members can answer in their IWSG post. These questions may prompt you to share advice, insight, a personal experience or story. Include your answer to the question in your IWSG post or let it inspire your post if you are struggling with something to say. 

Remember, the question is optional
January 3 question: Do you follow back your readers on BookBub or do you only follow back other authors?




How is everyone doing this new year? Got goals? Got a headache from all the sugar? Got a sunburn or a windburn from vacation? I purchased several new blank notebooks, because I love writing things down. My goal this week is to write down my goals. 
Hee hee.

Coffee, dogs, and books


I've been dog-sitting for my son this past week, so limited writing for me. We've enjoyed the great outdoors even in December and now in January. Now that the holidays are over, I've started reading a few mystery thrillers, which is one of my goals. Finishing up edits on a project and revamping my website also made the cut.

Got any goals this new year? Excited about getting started? Avoiding goal-setting at all costs?

  2. I've been enjoying thrillers and mysteries more too. I read a lot in the cold winter months. Good luck with goals. Mine is just to write more regularly.

    1. Just a random pic. Sometimes the least planned ones turn out the best. TY!

  4. Great pictures! I just got a ton of book rights back from things published in the '90s so it's off to get them scanned, re-edited and back into print for me in 2024!
