As we step into 2025, I’m hoping for a year filled with creativity and completed projects.
Reaching my objectives requires a disciplined approach, meaning I need to work consistently while simultaneously combating my tendencies toward procrastination and perfectionism, which often slow my progress. Juggling a full-time job, two kids, a seriously ill parent, and possibly ADHD will be a challenge. What’s my plan? I’ll use this space for weekly accountability updates. Beginning today!
Here’s what I’m working toward:
🎨 Daily Drawing Practice
• Devoting 1 hour every day to drawing.
• Completing 1 full illustration every week.
📚 Writing & Editing Goals
• Writing and editing 25,000 words per week.
📖 Projects to Complete & Share
1. These Bubbles Are Forever
• Illustrate all 35 images for this picture book.
• Submit the manuscript and illustrations to agents/publishers.
2. Madi and the Moon
• Finalize this MG fantasy (65-70k words).
• Query agents and publishers.
3. Mirror Quartet (Adult Epic Fantasy Series)
• Complete and self-publish the first two books (200k-250k words combined).
It’s an ambitious plan, but one fueled by passion and purpose. Each of these projects represents a piece of my heart, and I’m determined to bring them into the world.
What are your creative goals for 2025? Let’s dream big together! ✨
