Hey First name / friend,
I hope you enjoyed my cool productivity tricks from last week! Someday soon, I'll share the courses and hacks that have helped me get my life in gear. But this week, I wanted to share my 2021 writing and publishing recap!
This has been my most productive writing year yet. That's due in large part to me getting my mental, emotional, and physical health under control: for example, exercising regularly, cleaning up my diet, and controlling my lupus symptoms to the point that the disease has been “dormant” for the year. I've also begun the long screening process for an official autism/ADHD diagnosis. I've gotten my depression and anxiety under control to the point that they no longer affect my productivity.
So, overall, 2021 has been an amazing year for me!
Turns out I thrive when I don't have to leave the house 😂 Who would've thought? (Me. I would've thought. I've been a hermit for a long time.)
Anyway, here are my stats for the year!
Works published: 3 (1 novel, 1 novella, 1 short story)
Girl in the Dark
Hood: The Lieutenant
Survivors of the Rising Sea
Words written: 120k+ (that's a lot of words, folks)
Highest income: September 2021 (Girl in the Dark release month)
Books read: 102
Thank you for making this the best year of my writing career! I couldn't keep writing stories for you without your amazing support.
My publishing plan for 2022 includes 2 more novels, followed by 4 more in 2023. All the novels will be in the Post-Apocalyptic Princesses series…which makes me laugh and smile and feel all the feelings when I write it. I hope my joy and excitement in writing this series comes out on the page when you read it. 🖤
Have an amazing 2022, everyone! Seize the moment!
