Yup - Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Draft is done! However I’m now having to go back and rip things apart. I don’t enjoy that!
My current goals:
Finish editing (Major reconstructions)
Put more plants/lore/witchcraft in there. Make sure plants that are being used in potions are actually the right kind of plants. Thank you witches! You guys are amazing.
Come up with different endearments and salutations for each letter
One more editing - reading out loud, putting it to text to speech to make sure flow is okay
Add Potion illustrations
Send it to beta readers. (If you’re keen, let me know!)
Back from beta readers, edit - and send it to a story editor
Once done - give it to proof reader.
Give to Arc Readers while I make the Book cover.
DONE!
Marketing Goals:
This is gonna be hard because I didn’t do ANY marketing with the first book - due to a certain sassy child being born. But oh well.
Join Tik-Tok, Insta, Twitter, Facebook and start promoting!
Create newsletter!
Once Arc Readers are finished - send it to reviewers!
Do Pre-orders!
Gonna make my own book marks and give to the first 100 books :)
Maybe… write a spin off where newsletter people get it…? WHO KNOWS AHAHAHAHA I AM CRAZY AMBITIOUS WOMENNN
Personal Goals:
What personal goals. Don’t die doing above.
Good luck me!
