Here are the goals posted on the Facebook Page and in the Group in December.

Lois Paige Simenson Outline next book in series, figure out how to set up new author web page and landing page, and learn how to do a Mailerlite newsletter.

Author A Fae Goals…hmmm. My main goal is to finish revising my current WIP, so I can actually start working on finishing it. I’ve been so busy editing for other people, I had to take a couple of vacation days to work on my own stuff. My hope is to make the most of the days I have this week. My WIP is currently at approximately 39K. It has some major gaps I need to fill in. Those are the areas I really want to work on this week. Aside from that, I have plenty of editing to do for other authors too. Good luck to everyone!

Daniel Escurel Occeno To self-publish my NaNoWriMo 2019 winner novel on paperback.

Christy Jackson Nicholas I have a 48K novella that I wrote during NaNoWriMo that I’m going through and doing the line-by-line-grammar edits on. I hope to get through most of it this week. I work on it in 10 page chunks (it’s 76 pages). I’ve done the first 10 pages already. In addition, I’m percolating my next novel

Cody Martin I don’t have a weekly goal but my 2020 goal is to publish my sequel to my first book.

Tony Gee Polish a short story for mid Jan sub.

J Blair Brown My NO JOKE Hand and Foot Cream Is stirring buzz! Now developing a brand new product. Unveiling in 2020. [wink, wink] Also coming: new publication!!

Daniel Escurel Occeno I need to look over the proof of my possible paperback. Look for mistakes or rewrites of the 50,000 plus words novel for finalizing it to print-on-demand during this holiday season. Difficult so far to get motivated.

Shannon L. Buck Spend time with loved ones, and do some blogging.

Daphne Wright Work on two plays

Nita Sweeney I had big plans. BIG PLANS! Looks like my week will involve more rest.

Stephanie Bourbon Work and finish all my drawings, but then hopefully get my course outlined a bit more. It’s hard with Christmas right in the middle

Stephanie Bourbon Get some actual work done for the day job, writing my comedy piece for a comedy workshop, get my legal stuff in place for my online courses (or at least start), and book our trip to Greece (which has nothing to do with writing, except maybe it does???)

Bill Kelly At this point, I’d be happy with any progress. I’m very close to putting my novel over the 200,000 word mark, so I just want to make that little extra progress.
