Ally Aldridge: My plans for the third 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 Summer, 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

Jewel of the Sea: Enter into the Wattys. Put novel out to Beta Readers. Take part in September’s #PitMad. Work on my query letter.

Diamond in the Sky: Re-plot novel, edit existing version and write ending.

Festivals: Attend festivals:

Felixstowe Book Festival
YALC
Wow-Con

Personal

Working Together Course: Finish this course.

Crafts: Make time at least once a week:

Planner: continue to use Carpe Diem planner
Pocket letter: write another pocket letter
Scrapbook: Do at least one page
Crochet: Finish Aria’s blanket for her birthday

Read at least four and a half books by the end of September: I have read three books so far this year. I’ve started two books I have just not been able to get. I will most likely buy new books at the festivals.

Development

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

Resource book: Buy another writing help book. I am considering the Emotion Thesaurus.

What are your goals?

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