I’ve amassed a pile of WIPs that I decided to conquer this year. So instead of a new reading challenge (which I did poorly on last year), I’m going to set myself a writing challenge in 2023.
Here’s what I have in mind–
Each month, I’d like to tackle one (or more if I’m feeling feisty) title on my humongous WIP list. Most of the books are in draft form, at least, although some are still in the research phase (and those are the ones I tend to focus on, hence the backlog of unfinished manuscripts).

I’m going to go through Leonie Dawson’s 40 Days to a Finished Book course again (perhaps several times throughout the year) to keep my motivation level high. Her crass weirdness really kickstarts my creativity!
Since I’m focusing on writing, that means I’m not going to concentrate much on marketing this year. I have automatic Amazon ads running and my regular social media blasts, but other than that, I don’t plan on adding anything new. Hopefully, in 2024 I’ll have a rash of new books to promote, and I’ll be able to devote the entire year to learning new marketing strategies.
So stay tuned as I post regular progress updates every month. Feel free to set your own 2023 writing or reading goals, and keep me apprised as well!
