Ahhh I'm so excited for you Lindsay! These are some amazing goals and I can't wait to follow along with your progress and to read what you write. A picture book sounds so lovely and I like that you'll be able to illustrate and write the entire book. You're so talented and creative! I'm looking forward to seeing how it all turns out and I'm cheering you on, I can't wait to see you become an author this year!!! 💖😃 ps I love the new hair! ✅
Thanks so much Nicole! I really appreciate your support and encouragement. I’m so excited to do a lot of artwork over the next few months! And thanks, I really like having red hair! 😊
YAY on making the decision. I think losing out on the marketing options of normal publishingis what would put me off most as well. Then again, so many normally published books, don't get much of that either. I'm so excited to hear how you feel about htis in a year.
Wow, those are very ambitious goals! I can see why you are excited! I see what you mean about self-publishing, I also have an idea for a picture book (in the very early planning stages) but I would definitely want to illustrate it myself! The illustration is the part I am most excited about, I think! I also like making illustrations for my novels, and I'd be a bit disappointed if I couldn't have much input into the cover design :) I have been considering submitting one of my works to be professionally published, but it still needs editing so I have plenty of time to think about it! Here are my writing goals for 2024: ✰ Continue editing and uploading my audiobook to UA-cam (my NaNoWriMo novel) ✰ Edit another novel that I wrote before NaNoWriMo... that one might take a while to edit, I feel like I've improved quite a lot from the time I started writing it to now so there's lots of sentence flow I want to modify! ✰ Complete a few chapters of my manga! (not sure if it counts as writing, but I think it is related) ✰ I am also hoping to continue writing short stories or maybe co-write a novel with my partner, but at a slower pace than before since I would like to focus on editing for now.
Wish I had your artistic talents, illustrations, art, that's awesome stuff! Self-publishing has a lot of positives - can't wait to see you become a published author! 🥳 Liked, subscribed, and commenting 😉
Thank you, I’m so excited! I’m still deciding on my pen name - I’ll probably have one for picture books and another for everything else. I’ll let you know once I’ve decided!
Such an exciting year ahead for you! 😊 I'm wishing you the best and rooting for you in all of your publishing adventures! 🤩
Thanks Mika! 😊

agree with everything you said about self-publishing!! I'm very impatient haha so self publishing is the way for me :)
Exactly! Why wait? 😊

Best of luck!
