My plan for this past weekend was to continue my read-through of the final revised manuscript for The Bone Key sequel. But then I went and got both my flu and COVID boosters on Friday\u2026which means I spent all weekend on the couch either watching movies, napping, or playing Graveyard Keeper on my Switch. Not exactly productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, lots to catch up on this week. I also need to squeeze in some outlining time for the final short stories for the collection. I already had some ideas from the million other times I\u2019ve tried to finish this collection, but they feel a bit stale, so I\u2019m working on new ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After planning my self-publishing year, I have clear goals of what needs to be done when. And I know that if even one thing is late, it\u2019ll throw everything else into chaos, so I need to try to stick to my schedule as much as possible. I know things happen (like vaccine booster side-effects), but I\u2019m determined to meet my goals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How was your weekend? Did you take time off? What are your goals for this week?
