2025 is here and I hope that you are as excited as I am about the new energy and fresh start magic that the New Year season seems to bring.
Looking at Q1 2025, I have a few goals lined up, and 90 days from January 1st (til March 31st) to get it done. While I have a few personal goals as well (meditate, yoga and relax more) I present some of my overall Indie Author goals for 2025 as well.
A few things to note, it's taken me a long time to try and figure out what I want in a writing career and and how to go about it, that being said I still want to be a full time indie author and I know that I (more than likely) won't make it to that level this year but it won't stop me from dreaming about it.
These goals are defiantly subject to change but some of my indie author goals for 2025 are:
Write edit and publish book 2 (pending title 'Calling Shadows'): With a sneak peek of the book 2 title here, I haven't decided officially if it will be it or not. But I have a draft set up and emailed my editor to see if there is a slot available for me in April. It'll more likely be a late Spring release but summer doesn't start until June 20th (December 20th for southern hemisphere) right?
Write edit and publish book 3 (no title as of yet):
Yep yep, if everything works out as ideally planned there will be two new books from me this year. I have a god plot going for book 3, but haven't started to draft it yet....perhaps if I do book 4 will come to me faster?
Find more of my tribe:
It can be a bit lonely being an indie author, especially when you have socials that get very little views so it feels like that no one is seeing or hearing you. Or if you see another status about the same thing you just posted go essentially viral. But I won't let it stop me from writing, I was writing before social media is the way it is today and I will continue to do so because it makes me happy and it's fun to write about my imaginary friends. That being said while I may continue to "shout into the void" - I would like to post more on my socials, at least once or twice a week, more if I end up having more time. And hopefully find my tribe of readers and other indie authors.
So what are your goals for 2025? Do you have a set plan? Playing it by year? or Doing a bit of both like me?
