What a difference a year makes.

Last year in March I sold my first two manuscripts.  One full and one novella.  Both starts of a series.

The Bull Rider’s Brother went to Crimson Romance. Since that time, I’ve published the second in the Bull Rider’s Series, The Bull Rider’s Manager. The third is partially done. My bull rider, Jesse, is finally getting his own story instead of playing second fiddle to his brother and his manager. LOL

A Member of the Council released last November with Lyrical and is the first book in The Council series.  Return of the Fae is in my publisher’s hands and will be releasing July 1st. Just in time for holiday reading. (I love this cover.)

I’ve also got two more projects releasing in the next two months.  Temporary Roommates releases April 20th. And Marriage Not Included, May 22nd.

So what did I do to celebrate one year in contracted author status?  I sold three more books.  I can’t go in to a lot of detail, yet, but we’ve come to an email agreement on the project and I’m ecstatic with the results.  More to come soon.  I promise.

With this new sale, my 2013 annual writing plan just got a major revision.  I’m on deadline with two more books and am backward planning my word count to make sure I reach my goal.  I’m pulling out Lynn Law (my time management rules) and implementing a social media time limit. And, saying goodbye to Candy Crush on Facebook, until my words are done for the day.

Has anyone else had to revise their annual goals?  How did you switch your focus?
