Good Morning Adventurer, I hope that everyone has had a pretty solid weekend and at least a decent start to the week. Mine had a bit of a rough start, but it’s slowly getting better. Now, normally I’d have an update about what I am doing, however, due to some unforeseen events this past weekend I was unable to focus on writing. It had placed me in quite the funk and really put me out of it. So what I can do is update this timeline of mine that I had so ambitiously set for myself after returning home from my vacation earlier this summer.

---

So here were the original plans that I had set for myself before I got really busy this summer:

• June — Finish Project: Dancing Knight with at least one complete rewrite.
• July — Edit & Revisions & Beta Readers; Begin Self-Promotion & Ads; Schedule Release Date
• August — Publish & Release On Selected Markets (Amazon, Kindle, Barnes & Noble, etc.)

Jeez, I was really ambitious and I honestly did not expect this summer to get as busy as it did. Here we are though and in a dire need to update this project. I definitely need to give myself more time to complete writing Project: Dancing Night. That means I need to push everything else back(plus figure out how to do the Beta reader thing in general). So I think the best thing I can do for myself is easily provide myself more time.

• September–November: Complete Project: Dancing Night. Use this time to finish most recent draft, revisions, edits.
• October–December: Marketing, Branding, and Readers. Essentially, around October is when I should begin marketing the book. It doesn’t necessarily need to be done, but rather it just needs to get out there. So that’s when I SHOULD get to pushing that part of this plan.
• December–January: It should be around this time of the year that I really release the book. Despite all the setbacks this year, I still want to complete this goal of publish a book by the end of this year. Though I would be ok with releasing it by the start of next year. Either way, I want to still complete this ambitious goal of mine.

So there you have it, my new plans for the rest of the year. Are they still ambitious for me? Yes, but I want them to be. I find that I really need to write down my goals in order for me to really push myself into completing them. Hence why I have been adamant on making a post every week, even when I don’t want to write something. So let this be motivation to whoever reads these little posts of mine, you too can keep on striving after your goals. Even if you are tired and stretched thin, you can still pursue the goals that you make for yourself. So never give up and keep on seeking out that new adventure in everything that you do.
