Tag: goals

Greetings all!

I’ve realized that setting goals is a big part of why I wrote Brass Legionnaire. At first, I just wanted to finish a few chapters, then the novel. Then I wanted to publish it. Now that the book is finished and just awaiting the last few illustrations and formatting needs, what’s next? I’ve put together a list of personal goals that I hope to accomplish by the end of the summer of 2012 – IE August 21st or so, the start of the new school year.

By June 1st

1. Brass Legionnaire Published
2. Book Webpage Running
3. 125 followers on Twitter (currently at 77!)
4. 50 Facebook Likes (Currently at 12)
5. At least one blog interview done.
6. Have at least Four chapters of Copper Centurion complete
7. Post at least 3x a week here on the blog!

By July 1st

1. 150 Twitter followers
2. 75 Facebook Likes
3. At least 3-4 Blog interviews done
4. Run at least one giveaway on Goodreads with my novel for reviews
5. Finish at least ten chapters of Copper Centurion.

By August 1st

1. 175 Twitter Followers
2. 100 Facebook Likes
3. At least 4-5 Blog interviews/guest posts done.
4. Perhaps run a second Goodreads/Facebook giveaway?
5. Get audiobook component started.
6. Have at least half of Copper Centurion completed.

By September 1st (End of summer)

1. Have editing and cover art for Copper Centurion lined up.
2. Continue to guest blog/post.
3. Post 3x a week.
4. Complete all Kickstarter rewards.

Obviously, a lot to do, but I think I’ve set both reasonable and doable goals. I can reach the social media goals by adding less than one person a day to twitter and Facebook, which, in my experience, is an accessible target. Did I leave anything out? 🙂
Brass Legionnaire is looking to drop Mid-May 2012!
