{Happy New Year} A 2017 Sum Up and Goals for 2018

Happy New Year to all my Readers!

I don’t want to make this long. It’s just been a while since I last posted my writing achievements and goals on my website. Plus, one of the things I like to focus on this new year is my blog–and I felt this was a good first step. So, I listed below two goals I completed in 2017 and two goals I have for 2018 to share.

Completed in 2017:

1. Read 24 Books: Between all the non-fiction reference books, fiction novels, and manga, I was able to read 31 books this year. Though I no longer review or accept review requests, I still try to keep up with the reading.
2. Published my 4th Book: Yesterday was the official release day of Death Island, my new adult adventure. I’m really proud of this since this was the novel I started back in high school, then had agented in graduate school, and rewrote based on publisher feedback for the past two years.

New Goals for 2018:

1. Writing: I’ll be mainly focusing on Dark Reflections this year, writing at least 1 page a day. Also, I’m hoping to start either my new adult sci-fi, Radioactive, or my novella, Bly House.
2. Blogging: I don’t get much time to blog anymore, but I want to commit to a research post once every quarter this year. I still like to try to help authors with promoting their work through a few blog tours and cover reveals. Anything additional will be icing on the cake.

How about you? What did you finish in 2017? What are your 2018 goals?
