Ally Aldridge: My plans for the second quarter

You may have caught my previous post where I reflected on my progress so far this year towards my annual goal. As we enter into Spring, I am evaluating where I am at and setting myself some new goals for the next quarter.

Social Media

Blog (Word Press): To continue to post at least twice a week keeping to my content schedule as much as possible.

Instagram: To maintain the new connections I have made and continue to engage with them and share content about my writing.

Twitter: Continue to share links to my content on Twitter and connect with writers on the platform.

Facebook page: To brainstorm how I can use this to connect with more writers.

YouTube: To be brave and get in front of the camera and start sharing video content.

Tumblr: Share Instagram and Word Press content to this platform.

Writing

Red Dresses (formerly Scarlet House): To start writing a new novel. I shall use Camp NaNo to make progress towards this goal in April.

Jewel of the sea: To edit Act 2 and hopefully begun editing Act 3.

Personal

Working Together Course: Complete this course and decide what my plans are as my maternity leave comes to an end.

Scrapbook/Journal: Start using a planner to get more organised.

Read at least three books by the end of June: I have already read one this year so I just have two more to go to get back on track of my goal of six books by the end of the year.

Development

Writer courses: Continue to take advantage of any free courses that come my way if I have the time to do these.

Save the Cat Writes a Novel: Finish reading this fabulous resource on novel writing.

What are your goals?

I shall review these again at the end of June. I often feel like I haven’t achieved much until I acknowledge what I have managed to do. Will you be setting any goals?
