I worked on my first Kickstarter and it got approved! It’s for the Special Edition Hardcover of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 1: Archer and the release of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster. I contacted my graphic designer about the Special Edition Hardcover of vol. 1: Archer—it’s going to be SO beautiful! The Kickstarter focuses on the Special Edition Hardcover, but it’ll also include vol. 7: Spinster so that it’ll sort of be like a launch day for vol. 7, too. A third special thing that’ll be in the Kickstarter is Special Edition Paperbacks of all the books in the series. They won’t be available in stores, just in the Kickstarter (and later, from my website, and also in my Patreon book box tiers if I decide to do them). The Kickstarter is not live yet, but you can follow it to be alerted when it has launched. (You may need to create a free Kickstarter account.) Follow Camy’s Kickstarter
Captain’s Log, Supplemental
Since it’s the start of 2005, here are my writing goals. I want them posted here for accountability:
Long-term goals:
complete three manuscripts by December 2005
come up with one new multiple-book Chicklit series proposal and one new multiple-book Romantic Suspense series proposal
find at least two more critique partners
Short term goals:
write one short story each month
critique at least one piece each week on Writing.com
critique crit partners' pieces every two weeks
update my website at least once a month with something new and exciting (at least to me! LOL)
Daily goals:
at least one hour of writing each weekday, two hours each Saturday, Sunday as a day of rest
Project goals:
finish current ms by February 1st (it’s what I’m shooting for, but I just realized I need to overhaul my storyline)
polish Romantic Suspense series proposal by February 1st (see previous)
finish novella by April 1st
finish first ms by August 1st
finish second ms by December 31st
Learning goals:
read one book on writing each month
read one article on writing each week
I may not be published, but I know that I can't let myself slack off on my writing while I wait to hear back from publishers. They may not like the manuscript they've got, but they may like the next one from me. I want to constantly keep at least one project "in circulation," as it were.
Of course, this may change if my agent decides I'm not worth the time and effort and dumps me. :-)
