My Writing Goals For 2023

For the past couple of years I've set myself a few writing goals for the year and today I'm setting out what I hope to achieve in 2023

I'm currently working on the first round of edits for the book that will be published by HQ Digital in July. It doesn't have a title yet (because it seems I can write a whole book but not a teeny, weeny title) but hopefully I'll have one I can share with you soon!

I'm time-travelling again in this book and I can't wait to share Elodie's story with you.

I wrote a big chunk of Book 17 (which also has no title. I'm very, very rubbish at titles lately) as part of NaNoWriMo 2022 but I put it away over Christmas and now I'm working on my summer book edits. But I'm very much looking forward to getting back to Molly and Max's story.

I first had the murmurings of an idea for this story back in November 2019 but I had other books on the go and although I had the base for the story, I didn't have fully-formed characters or a proper plot until quite recently, so it's been a bit of a slow-burner!

I've got an idea for a short story that I want to write, but it's going to be on a not-so-short short story so I thought I'd write it in three parts and send it out in instalments as part of my 2023 newsletters.

If you'd like to read my not-so-short short story, make sure you've subscribed to my newsletter.

I've taken part in Nano for the past few years (and sometimes I've even 'won') and I love the community aspect of getting together (either in person or over Zoom). 2022's Nano was particularly helpful for me as it gave me my confidence back with writing, so I'm looking forward to taking part again this year.

So those are my writing goals for 2023. I'll keep you updated on my progress by the end of the year.

Have you set yourself any writing goals?
