I actually can’t believe its 2022, like wtf, it was 2019 a minute ago

But another year, means new goals and more updates which is always a great thing.

So let’s get straight to it!

1 – FINISH WRITING Master

Right now, I’m at a good place with Master, we’re over the 3/4 line which means I should hopefully be able to reach the final stretch within this year. I think it’s achievable because I’m going to be focusing on my books for the first half of this coming year, so to get this done – 

Strategy:

– update at least once every three weeks
(I didn’t really do this last year, but as I said, I have more time for my books now so I’m hoping I’ll be able to do this and more if possible)

– recap plotline
(I have a rough plotline jotted down in my writing journal for Master that I work on so I don’t get too sidetracked with new things. I try to go over it before each update, but doing that more frequently will help?)

– reread chapters to keep the plot fresh in mind so that I do not derail the book

– give chapters some room to breathe before uploading
(this really really helped me last year so defo bringing this back)

– continue to keep up with the comment section
(I know I don’t reply to comments as much as I used to these days, but that’s because there are way more books and readers than when I started, so it’s hard to juggle it all.
B

ut I still read the comments religiously and you guys always give some amazingggggg theories and thought processes that always make me sit down & rethink things, so I definitely can’t skip this)

2 – FINISH WRITING AT LEAST 1/2 OF Control

As I said when I started Control, I have no idea how this book is going to go.

There’s so much to cover with Hagen and Nikola, both past and present so it’s a big web I’ll be trying to untangle very carefully for the next year. So I’m not going to pressure myself to finish any more than half the book in case it’s harder than I think to write.

Strategy:

– update at least once every three weeks
(I’m hoping it’ll be way more frequent than this)

– reread chapters to keep the plot fresh in mind so that I do not derail the book

– give chapters some room to breathe before uploading

– continue to keep up with the comment section

3 – WRITE AT LEAST 10 NEW CHAPTERS OF Linked

Okay, so last year I wanted to do 6 new chapters of Linked and I think I did 5. I have lots of Linked mood, but because of the extras, books and other little things, it gets pushed back wayyy too much, so I’m going to make a conscious effort of putting a stop to that.

Strategy:

– Write a new chapter of Linked every month
(this will give me 2 free months in the year to either skip if I’m too busy, or write even more)

– reread chapters to keep the plot fresh in mind so that I do not derail the book

4 – REACH 650 PATRONS ON PATREON

At the moment, we’re at 600 patrons but that might be 500 soo so I’ll give 650 as my end goal for the year!

600 was the goal for me to start rewriting Alpha Mates for publication, so I’ll be doing this from this month going forth in the background!!!! AKGEWPG<ARG<:ERG<R

That’s so fucking exciting!!!!! 

The amount of Patrons I have is not up to me, but like last year, maybe I can help the case by making my Patreon as best as I can. 

Strategy:

– Include more polls and interactive posts
(those on Patron seemed to really like these last year, so defo a keeper)

– Aim to upload the 3 extras in good time
(Okay last year, I got a little better at this, but I still had the last extra coming very close to the end of the month which wasn’t fun. SOOOOOO, I’ll be aiming to get all extras done at least 4-5 days before the end of the month) 

– Advertise my Patreon a little more
(The sneak peeks work well, so we’ll be keeping those in for sure!)

5 – Do more DOUBLE AND TRIPLE UPDATES + 1 SEPTUPLE UPDATE

I’m going to keep to double and triple updates because that doesn’t stress me out, but I also love big updates, so I’m going to try to do a big one sometime during this year.

Septuple = 7 parts of something

Strategy:

– Keep a better eye on current update pace
(I’ve been using a bullet journal to see how often I write and update all my books and extras which really helps me see how things are progressing. It takes the stress away of feeling like I don’t write enough when I see that I write almost every day, I just don’t upload that much)

– Don’t aim to write an entire chapter in a single sitting
(I really fixed this bad habit last year, I started writing things in parts and it’s honestly such a great way to rest and think of even better things going forward.)

– Award equal attention to both my current books
(Master and Control = Equal uploads…hopefully)

6 – Make every reader cry. 

Who would I be if I didn’t include this every year?!?!

Strategy: 

– Be merciless

– Breaking characters = more pain for the readers

Lmfaooo, I’m just kidding guys 👀

———————–

Okay, that’s it. Those are my 6 goals for the new year!!

Last year was an awesome year for me when it came to the books and the Patreon extras, so I really want to keep that roll going, hopefully, these goals will help me keep doing that.

I do try to update/upload something every week which I do get done when you include Patreon, but I want to try updating the books as much/more than Patreon extras. 

We’ll see how that goes.

Again, Happy New Year!!! I’m so excited!

Love you all, Tippy!
