Let’s get into what I achieved in September from the list of shit to get done…

1 – RELEASE the last novel in the Porn Star Brothers series, And Always, on September 19th.

2 – Do book quote and book release blog posts.

3 – Do my yearly Jackie Collins post.

4 – Get the interior done for the print books.

5 – Do October’s blog posts.

6 – Maybe get the print covers done? That will all depend on the cover designer.

Well, would you look at that! Five items were completed and I’m feeling very good about myself.

The covers are not done, at this point. They may be done after the rest are complete, but we’ll see how they go.

Okay, so let’s launch into what I want to do in the month of October…

1 – Get the covers done

2 – Maybe get the new cover ready

3 – Do November’s blog post

So there you have it, not a lot to get done as the year is winding down. We’ll see on November 1st whether I achieved them or not and I’ll be talking about wrapping up the year.

Meanwhile, here’s September in social media pictures…lots of book posts, but I’ll keep them to a minimum here…

Let’s get into what I achieved in August from the list of shit to get done…

1 – Finish the large prints, dust jacket hard and hardcovers of the PSB series. Make any corrections before re-uploading and SETTING A RELEASE DATE!

(I have completely redone the large print books in a different font, which is why it’s taking so long. I also needed to buy the proofs of my hardcovers, and some of them will need tweaking. For all I know NONE of the books will be out until the end of the year.)

2 – Finish this year’s novel and have it edited and ready for release.

3 – Get everything ready concerning the last book in the series, such as, THE COVER!!!!!, Book quotes, and blog posts.

4 – Write September’s blog post.

Okay, so as you can see I definitely did this blog post, and definitely did #2 and 3. #1 is in red, which means, it’s just not happening with everything going on this year.

But the last book in the Porn Star Brothers series will definitely be released as an e-book on September 19th.

Okay, so let’s launch into what I want to do in the month of September…

So there you have it, six items for September’s shit to get done list. We’ll see on October 1st whether I achieved them or not.

Meanwhile, here’s August in social media pictures…

Let’s get into what I achieved in July from the list of shit to get done…

1 – Finish proofing the large prints and the dust jacket hard covers of the novels, and hardcovers of the PSB series. Make any corrections before re-uploading and SETTING A RELEASE DATE!

 – If they’re not coming this month, then it’s definitely August 19th.

2 – Finish writing this year’s novel and type it up, maybe even give it its first edit.

3 – Write August’s blog post.

Okay, so as you can see I definitely did this blog post.  And 1 and 2 are in the orange, which means, there is one chapter left to write and then type up and the first draft will be done. You can see from my social media pics below the word count jump over a two week period. At this stage the last book in the Porn Star Brothers series will be released as an e-book on September 19th.

As for the large prints and hardcovers. Fingers crossed they will be released September 19th as well.

Meanwhile, here’s July in social media pictures…

First, I’ll get into the update on the list of shit to get done.

I’ll leave out everything I had already done in January and just concentrate on everything else.

What was already in the making this year…

– 1 – The release my four standalone novels in large print and dust jacket hardcovers.

They’re almost done. I just need to proof them and then they are released in March or April.

Okay, so clearly THAT didn’t happen, but they are planned for August or September, most definitely.

– 2 – The release of the Porn Star Brothers series in dust jacket hardcovers.

As above. They’re almost done. I just need to proof them and then they are released in March or April.

Again, didn’t happen in those months, but are planned for release in September.

What I have planned for the year…

– 1 – Write the next and last Porn Star Brothers book.

Consisting of five stories it should take as long as a normal novel, although my novels aren’t normal length. I’m thinking 60 handwritten pages per story, so 2.5 notebooks, and about 3 weeks. But then, I never know what will happen when it comes to this family and these stories.

– 1.1 – Type them up, edit them, send them off for editing, edit some more.

– 1.2 – Get the covers done, check the proof and release it as an e-book, paperback, and dust jacket hardcover in September.

– 2 – Try and post to Insta, FB, TW more during the week at L.J. Diva and Porn Star Brothers, and pin to my Pinterest boards monthly.

– 3 – Get a mailing list set up for my books and a newsletter set up on the website.

The book is nearly finished, but not typed up, edited, no cover, no nothing. I now post once a week plus blog posts, and the mailing list is still waiting….

Let’s get into what I achieved in June from the list of shit to get done…

 1 – Finish proofing the large prints of the novels, and then the dust jacket hard covers and make any corrections before re-uploading and SETTING A RELEASE DATE!

2 – Finish writing this year’s novel, of which I’m nearly there.

3 – Continue looking into newsletters and mailing lists.

4 – Write July’s blog post.

Sooooo….I did one thing, but two are still on the move! And I’ll pretty much give up worrying about mailing lists right now because, you know, books to get done!

So if you want to see the others things I’ve been up to, head over to my style blog, Jewel Divas Style. 

Okay, so let’s launch into what I want to do in the month of July…

It’s the school holidays, so hopefully I’ll have two weeks to finish the novel and type it up.

1 – Finish proofing the large prints and the dust jacket hard covers of the novels, and hardcovers of the PSB series. Make any corrections before re-uploading and SETTING A RELEASE DATE!

If they’re not coming this month, then it’s definitely August 19th.

2 – Finish writing this year’s novel and type it up, maybe even give it its first edit.

3 – Write August’s blog post.

So there you have it, three items for July’s shit to get done list. We’ll see on August 1st whether I achieved them or not.

Meanwhile, here’s June in social media pictures…
