My 2018 "One Word" // And 2017 Update

12/31/2017

Happy New Year!



I had a very... interesting 2017. Not a bad one in any way. Just an interesting one. A changing way, I suppose.

If you remember, and why wouldn't you ;), my 2017 "ONE WORD" of the year was FUN.

I did have fun... I did. But I didn't do as much with it as I wanted.

I kinda failed.

This year... my "ONE WORD" is CONTENT.



Want to hear my thoughts on why? Check out the video where I explain it all...




*2018: the year of 'content'ment
Basically, the short version is that I want to be CONTENT with my CONTENT (see what I did there ;) )

I do believe in big dreams and reaching for your goals. But something that I've been thinking about a lot lately is being CONTENT with now. I don't think it's easy. But I know it is a goal I want for my professional and my personal life. I'm actually really excited about it. #peace

Also I want to focus on CONTENT: content on my instagram, youtube (I've began my 30 second writer tips again), facebook, twitter, BOOKS... The one thing I do plan is actually less books in 2018. The last 2 years, I've put out 6-8 books a year and I just... I can't. Not do that and tell the stories I want. Not this year at least. We shall re-evaluate this next year ;) 

ANOTHER THING that I think about probably more than I should is what genre to write next. I'm going to write about this on another blog post later, but it is something I think about a lot. Should writers stay in basically one genre? Is it okay to switch around? Do you need a pen name? I'll chat about all of those things later. I just want to be CONTENT with my CONTENT. 

{How many times can I say CONTENT? Good thing there isn't a drinking game involved with this post...}

*2018 GOALS

*Publish at least 2 books

*Do a Reader Party for Dark and Deadly Things (January 30th)

*Increase book sales

*Open my manuscript document every day (that doesn't mean I have to type in it, but I have to at least OPEN it)

*Seek opportunities to speak on writing and publishing

*Post at least 1 youtube video every week

*Read 12 books (that is a lot for me...)

*Have 'grace' with myself. As Sherlock told John, we are all just human... even you.

*AND-- this one makes me laugh, but it is a goal so here it is-- get 10,000 instagram followers...

{I have 1354 right now ;) }


*Conclusion

2017 was a much needed year. 2018 is a much anticipated year. I'm so glad I get to share it with you!


*TELL ME

What is your word of 2018? How did your 2017 go? Leave a comment and let's chat!

Live your dreams. Write your nightmares.
Much Love, Kelly
