Hello again,
Winter Wonderland and 2021!
Well 2020 was quite a ride but I’m not sorry to see it slip quietly away without much fanfare.
We had a low-key night and we celebrated hubs turning 65! Our normal dinner out at our favorite restaurant didn’t happen so I volunteered to cook a special prime rib dinner, a small cake and it was dinner for two. A nice way to begin the year on a snowy night.
Do you have goals for 2021? I don’t make resolutions but I do set goals for myself. Some are simple, like eat more fruit every day, sometimes I lack in that department, but I love veggies so that’s easy. I also plan to get more organized and purge boxes I moved into the house 17 years ago. If I haven’t opened them by now I guess I don’t need what’s inside. If you’re on Goodreads did you sign up for the 2021 reading challenge? I have my goal for this year, 52 books. You can watch my reviews to see what I’m reading too.
While the temps are chilly I’m hard at work. I’ve very high goals for my writing life. I will release five (5) new books this year. The first book is available for Preorder and will release March 3, Blends A Prequel, and then with a quick release on March 17 of Breathe, Book 1 in the Crescent Lake Winery Series. The next two books in the series will follow and on November 15 I’ll release a new Dickens Christmas story as yet to be titled and it’s now in the process of being written. And to really be forward thinking, 2022 will see the final two books in Crescent Lake and a Last Chance Beach novel where I’m joining with other terrific romance authors to visit the beach so yes, I’m already planning books for over a year away too. Now, it’s not as easy as one might think so it’s a good time to enjoy being home. With each book released there is a lot of behind the scenes work, drafting, rewriting, editing, proofreading, cover design and then promotion and I love every minute of the process.

So, tell me what are some of your goals and let’s reach them together.
Stay healthy and until next time,
I wish you happiness and love.
Five books this year is an amazing goal! That's exciting! Sounds like you're on target to meet it, too. One of my goals is to lose weight. Kind of boring, but I really need to do it. I have a second goal, though! I've formatted my books for print, so yay! I'm just waiting for them to be ready.
ReplyDeleteWow! Lucinda you’ve set some lofty goals for this year. May each one of them be successful. Congrats to your husband for the birthday. It sounds like you had a great time celebrating. (As great as you can considering the times) Wishing you many sales this year!
ReplyDeleteGreat goals for the year! I always set yearly goals as well. This year I've got nine books coming out - though 3 of them are rereleases. I feel tired already, LOL!
ReplyDeleteLofty goals and an exciting year ahead.
ReplyDeleteChallenging goals, but you can do it. Go for it, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo - You go, Cindy! Love your books. Here's to many great words in 2021!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your goals! Remember to not beat yourself up if you get off track a little. It is so easy to be hard on ourselves. Looking forward to seeing all of your accomplishments this year. :)
