Getting Personal #292: January Goals Recap

Welcome back!

I had a very successful January!

I made major progress with my book. I learned about formatting and a lot of other stuff with Amazon KDP. It’s really easy once you spend some time in it. There are videos and guides for everything!

We enjoyed celebrating Al’s birthday. His parents came down the weekend before. We went to The Bier Garden, an excellent German restaurant in downtown Portsmouth. On his actual birthday later the following week, we did surf and turf, his favorite. Yum!

I worked a bit more on my office. I also went through all the paperwork and mail that we had in various places. There’s a large shred pile now. My next goal is to completely clean off the couch in my office and find homes for everything.

What about you? Did you have any goals for this month?

Until the next headline, Laura Beth 🙂

Welcome back!

Here are my goals for the month of January:

  1. Continue preparations for launching my first book!
  2. Celebrate Al’s birthday!
  3. Schedule more blog posts.
  4. Continue decluttering.

Yes, you read that right. I’m finally publishing my first book! As of this writing, I just created a new page here on Hot Shot Headlines for my books – Check out the Books page for more information. I’m looking forward to launching my book, What Happens at Camp … in about a month’s time. Keep an eye out on February 21, 2023! I appreciate everyone’s support here on the blog for many, many years. It’s finally happening!!

I’ve been so busy with the holidays and preparing to launch my book that I haven’t posted very much on here. I hope to get back to a regular posting schedule in the next few weeks.

When I haven’t been working or deep into learning everything about Kindle Direct Publishing, I’ve been decluttering my house. I went through all my clothes and closet. I donated three huge garbage bags full of clothes and shoes. We bought another Shark vacuum which is the exclusive upstairs vacuum.

I’m anticipating another closet clean-out when it gets warmer. The next step is my office, and then the garage.

What about you? Do you have any goals for this month?

Until the next headline, Laura Beth 🙂
