As many of you may know, I haven't written a post here for a hot minute. I've been busy working on various projects so here's a reminder of this year's goals, with an update on them.
Goals/Plans for 2022
1 - Finish
formatting the Tarragon Trilogy for screenplay (hoping I get the chance
to shop it around to producers in the next few years)
I have two of the three finished and ready to shop around, and am working on the third.
2 - Complete and publish one new children's illustrated work
I am close to finishing all of the line art for my newest children's book, Moving the Zoo, which will be released this summer. Dates to be announced.
3
- Participate in at least one writer's conference
I will be doing a
virtual class for the Storymaker's Conference held in Provo, UT for
their digital catalogue - held May 12-14th
New booking as a conference presenter for the Kanab Writer's Conference in Kanab, UT - July 28-30th
4 - Hopefully
get a new book written, or at least get a good start on it. There are
several ideas percolating in my brain that want out.
Still working on this one.
5 - Prepare, and hopefully publish, my husband's first book.
Still working on this one.
6 - Start a podcast on self-publishing and everything I wish I'd known about it before I started the venture.
I have recorded the first few episodes and am doing research on a few more before I release so that I have a "buffer" of episodes ready to go.
7 - Complete at least one audio book of my currently published works, and release it in podcast form (probably on Spotify)
I am working on this and have a few chapters recorded but not yet edited.
With all that said, I will soon give more information on Moving the Zoo, its release date, a sneak peek at the artwork, and maybe a few other surprises.
So far, I think I can say it's been a productive year. I can't wait to see how the rest goes. And how many more of my goals I can finish!
