February Goals 2021

Good morning, or afternoon depending on where you live! Today I'm going to be sharing some of my February reading and writing/blogging goals.

Reading

February TBR: 

✧ upside of unrequited 
✧ plot and structure
✧ six of crows 
✧ marvel-verse: captain marvel
✧ the penderwicks 
✧ nevermoor
✧ what beauty there is


This is a total of 6 books, although my goal for February is 1o. The last book is an arc I just got approved on netgalley, so it's a top priority next month! I do want to finish Six of Crows, Captain Marvel, and Nevermoor first because they're books I'm currently reading. 

Blogging and Writing 

Though this is ambitious, I'm actually hoping to write and publish 5 posts during the month of February! I have them all planned and scheduled, so I'm confident that it will happen. I'm also reaching for 3 more followers and 600 views this month.

I'm hoping to write a 5,000 word short story this month about my cast of 4 characters (in my novel) to get me back into the writing process. 


This was a short post but I hope you got a glimpse of my February goals! At the end of the month you'll see a post on how I did :)

How To Publish A Fiction Novel

You have written your fiction novel. Now what? You publish. Unfortunately, that isn't as easy as it looks. By the time you finish reading this post, you will have a clear understanding of the publishing industry. You want to get your book out there and into the hands of willing readers. There are two main ways to publish your book: traditional publishing and self-publishing. Traditional Publishing With traditional publishing, you want to get a book deal with a publishing house. A few of the most popular publishers are HarperCollins, Simon and Schuster, and Penguin Random House.  To get a book deal, most publishers require an agent to reach out to them. Thanks to  this website  and other sites you can easily find agents to submit your manuscript to. If they accept, they will submit your queries, proposals, and manuscript to all the publishers they can find. If you get a book deal, the agent gets 15-20% of the profit.  What are Queries and Proposals? Queries are a one-page

A Guide To Outlining: Part One: Why Outline? + More

Image
In the author writing community, there is a lot of talk about plotting, outlining, etc. What there is not much talk about is the actual outlining part. I used to be a discovery writer (who writes without plotting) and I desperately wanted to learn how to outline. There are many different outlining methods, but today, we will be talking about the basics of outlining. What is it, and why should you do it? What purpose does it serve? Why Outline?  Many people are discovery writers, meaning that they write with ideas in their head, rather than ideas written down. These people usually have a more vague idea of where their story is going. This is not a bad thing, but there are disadvantages that come with it.   Outlining will h elp eliminate writer's block. If you constantly find yourself stuck, not knowing where your book is heading, outlining may be for you. Another reason to outline is that you will have a good sense of story structure, flow, and pacing. We will get into h

7 Things To Do During Quarantine

Here are 7 fun and productive things to do while in Quarantine. 1. Take A Class On Skillshare  Whether you want to bump up your writing skills or become a painter, skillshare is a great online platform for learning. You can get a premium membership for 2 months free, or get basic, which still has access to many professional classes.  2. Make Ice Cream Making ice cream can be quite simple, even if you do not have an ice cream machine. All you need is some vanilla, milk, sugar, salt, and ice. Simply put the vanilla, milk, and sugar into a small ziplock bag. Then, in a bigger bag, fill halfway with ice and put a bit of salt on the ice. Then put the small bag into the bigger one and shake for 5 minutes. There you have it- delicious ice cream! 3. Take A Walk or Bike Even though you have to stay 2 or more meters away from others, you can still take walks or bike outside. In my opinion, fresh air is one of the best things you can give yourself. I always take a walk in the morning a
