2019 New Year's resolutions for writing

In keeping with a writing theme here and not digressing into my personal life, my writing resolutions for 2019 are as follows (in order of priority I believe):

1. Finish writing 'Lost & Found'. It's been a bit of a slog to be honest. During this fall I experienced as close as I've come to writer's block. Some days it was hard to get out 500 words! When I stopped writing at Christmas I was nearly three quarters of the way through – just shy of 60,000 words. I figure I should be able to finish writing the book by the end of February. It's about time too as I've been writing it (under various titles) for more than 40 years!
2. Add to/Edit/Revise the second book in the Meghan O'Byrne series ('Redemption'). I'm really looking forward to working it even though I know it's going to be a lot of work. I was planning on doing the third book as well in 2019 ('Ascension') but as a result of being a little behind schedule already I don't think that's going to happen.
3. Work on marketing 'Fall From Grace'. I'm not sure how I'm going to do this but in putting it down as the third priority I hope it'll make me give it some attention!
4. Edit 'Lost & Found'.
5. Self publish 'Lost & Found'.
6. Self publish 'Redemption'.
7. Keep thinking about how to present the next book I plan to write. Probably in 2020. I already have the title 'Dreaming at the Speed of Light' and know it's going to be written in the first person but that's about it. I've had lots of ideas how and what to put in the book. When I'm bored with all the other things I'm working on, I let my mind play with ways to let the story come out.

That'll be all for 2019. It'll be interesting to come back at the end of the year and do a reconciliation!
