Not-a-Bujo Goals for 2019

3/25/2019

In the bullet journal vein, I'm clarifying my goals for 2019. (Sure, the year is 1/4th over, but that also means there are 3/4ths remaining.)

​Usually, my goals are vague. Such as, "Finish writing book x." When I plan out every detail of my year, I get overwhelmed; however, I don't want to under-reach either. So, in the name of balance, I'm digging a little deeper but not getting overly specific.

  • Writing
    • Finish drafting UF, including the new outline and synopsis.
      • Word count: 7,000 of 75,000
    • Draft YA screenplay, as yet untitled.
      • Status: Synopsis complete
  • Marketing
    • New web site
    • New social media accounts
    • Blog consistently
    • Grow social media presence
    • Issue newsletters quarterly
  • Craft
    • Apply to writing workshop
    • Read 10 books from the list of Hugo Award winning SFF
  • Self Care
    • Use MyFitnessPal app consistently before meals
      • This is day 1! So far, so good.
    • Spend more time with creative friends (you know who you are)
    • Develop and implement workout schedule
      • I have no excuse not to do this, having just moved into a building with a gym
    • Cook and eat low-carb, high fiber meals at home
      • My new kitchen has been helping with this a lot
    • Enjoy some R&R with Mom on a cruise to Nova Scotia!

Over the rest of the year, I'll check in with blog posts on each of these areas. You'll keep me honest, right? Feel free to inspire me and others in the comments with how you track and meet your own goals.

Why K8?

The Magic K8 BallThe Magic K8 Ball
A few years back, I started going by K8 on social media because--you guessed it--there are too many Kates and not enough internet to go around.

Some friends joked about the "magic K8 ball," and the obsession with signing my name with digits, infinity symbols, and fortune-telling toys began. Sure, it's a little cheesy; but it stuck AND it's better than GreatKate998.

After a several year hiatus, during which I focused on obligations in an alternate universe, I shook the Oracle of 8 and asked whether it might be time to refocus on Urban Fantasy. Signs pointed to YES (i.e., the market for UF had stopped sucking quite so much), so, here I am.

In addition to this blog, I have Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram accounts. If you really want to catch me for something, please email. There are not enough hours in the day to drink tea, write, and play on social media.

If you want to find me, just look for K8. Until then, keep being gr8!

    Not another Kate!

    I am a  word alchemist, angel apologist--no, really, I'm very sorry about them--and urban fantasist. I reside in all possible worlds.

    This is my home on the interwebs where I weave stories, share writing trials and triumphs, and generally shake off the crazy that comes from staring too long at the page.
