2022 GOALS (patron-only video!)
🕑 Added 2021-12-23 17:07:14 +0000 UTCWell, well, well. If it isn't almost the end of December (which is good because I've been thinking about 2022 ever since NaNoWriMo wrapped up bahaha). This last month of the year is always the weirdest blend of chaos, melancholy, music, excitement, joy, family, and overwhelm. It always feels so noisy, like I can still hear holiday jingles despite laying in my dark bedroom at midnight. I love December so much but also constantly wish it was over bahaha. (I'm not sure if y'all feel the same?)
But as we can now count the number of days left of this strange month on two hands, I figured it was finally the appropriate time to talk about 🎆🎇 2022! 🎇🎆 And while I've made many a Goals video in the past, I'm trying to learn from my mistakes, which is why...
This is a patrons only video! It's a little long, maybe a little rambling, but I wanted to share some of my plans (writing, publishing, & otherwise) for the new year while I fill out my Passion Planner. And depending on what y'all think, I'm debating making this a monthly, patron-only update series (or maybe update when I "achieve" or "complete" one of the goals!).
I'll include an "outline" that I made for the video below the squiggles. It doesn't perfectly match up as I definitely did ramble and jump around bahaha, but if you just wanted to read what I've got planned, you can do that too!
All that said, please comment down below (or on the video) and let me know what your goals and aspirations are for 2022! And let me know if you have anyone who might want to chat with me about how they make money making art! 🦄

☀️ Why Patron Only Goals + Taking January Off YouTube (?!)
☀️ Leaving reviews (food? books? etc.!)
Fun for me; good for others potentially, etc.
☀️ Making Money Making Art
Interviewing people on Patreon first!
Plan for just one season to see if I actually enjoy it and then go from there
Very happy to have chatted with Hayley (twice) and GiGi so far and would love to chat with more of y'all and/or get recommendations from people to chat with
☀️ What Writers Get Wrong
Local experts (like my dad's video)
☀️ More booktube content
Been my goal for like 2 years I think?
Why don't I do it? What up with that? Pressure of writing YouTube vs. other content, etc.
☀️ Project Death
Betas, Query
☀️ Another romance pen name (ooooh?)
Sports romance; shorts
☀️ Lessons Learned on Announcing DnD (broskis project)
Excitement to try Kindle Vella, later thought through it more (not fair to readers) — instead, put it on website or here! Thoughts?
☀️ NaNoWriMo - NEW PROJECT
☀️ Lots of other random projects I'm in the middle of but alas, will let those chips fall where they may
Including Meridian Maps, the project I had been working "on stream" before Project Death, standalone contemporaries, etc.
☀️ Medium again
Lol show $$ stats from there because why not
Have several ideas, this is actually part of my January goals
Part of what I initially wanted to do way back when, but with pandemic freelance gone down and then focus shift to novels and social media (etc.), want to get back to it
☀️ 30 Before 30 focus for personal stuff.
☀️ Screenwriting!
Would like to try writing my Scooby Doo x Princess Bride pilot again
Want to do a Hallmark movie (legit my Christmas in July movie); shout out Wallis' "This Book is for October"; Ally Carter

As a therapist (and aspiring writer) I'm so into this idea of talking about what writers get wrong! I'm excited for your projects and hopeful that this year will be kinder to you and your loved ones

I'm so sorry to hear about Duke. That makes me so sad. He was a good boy.
