Writing Goals for 2015

Usually I split my career goals into two paths, the creative end and the business of writing. So here are my upcoming objectives for 2015.

WRITING GOALS

Finish and Submit Facials Can Be Fatal, #13 in the Bad Hair Day Mysteries.

Revise backlist mystery titles, including Hair Raiser, Murder by Manicure, and Body Wave.

Commence audio book process starting with Permed to Death.

Hire editor for two standalone mysteries and consider bundling them as a box set.

Begin plotting #14 in the Bad Hair Day Mysteries.

Consider timeline for writing books #4-6 in the Drift Lords Series.

BUSINESS GOALS

Hold launch party for each backlist title as the revised Author’s Edition is published.

Plan promo campaign for Peril by Ponytail, #12 in the Bad Hair Day Mysteries, due out in October.

Enter books in writing contests.

Keep up with quarterly newsletter, blogs and social networking sites.

And what do you hope to accomplish this year?
