Let’s get into it!
I have these PLANNED for doing…
Under L.J. Diva…
– 1.1 – Write a novel, or three…
– 1.2 – Type it/them up through the year and put it/them through 3-4 rounds of editing. Get it/them to my editor, and then edit some more.
– 1.3 – Format each book in each version and get the covers done.
– 1.4 – Upload to Ingram and get proofs. Proof. Fix any issues or set up for release.
– 1.5 – Release the book and send out blog posts, add book quotes, character lists, etc, to website.
Under T.K. Wrathbone…
– 1.1 – Get last year’s stories formatted and covers done.
– 1.2 – Get proofs and edit.
– 1.3 – Release some time in the year and do blog posts.
Under Tiara King…
– 1 – Every year I do the same thing. See whether it will be worthwhile updating my two paperbacks, How To Be A Jewel Diva and Closet Confidential. And every year I think, how can I get it done better?
– 2 – Write a novel…
– 2.1 – Type it up through the year and put it through 3-4 rounds of editing. Get it to my editor, and then edit some more.
– 2.2 – Format each version and get the covers done.
– 2.3 – Upload to Ingram and get proofs. Proof. Fix any issues or set up for release.
– 2.4 – Release the book and send out blog posts, add book quotes, character lists, etc, to website.
– 3 – Re-write my book on self-publishing under my name, which I originally released in 2014 under LJD, with all new information. I think I said this last year as well and the plan was for release for this year, but I have a feeling it won’t come out until next year.
– 4 – Get my mailing list for TK done. The mailing lists are for the back of the books that usually contain a clickable link to a page where they can download a freebie if you have it. They then go to your newsletter list. Since I don’t yet have freebies, I don’t yet have a link for the books. I think I also mentioned this last year.
– 5 – Write reader magnets under all three names for my mailing list.
– 6 – See if I can go direct to Google Play and close down my Streetlib and/or Publishdrive accounts to make publishing life easier.
Other…
– 1 – Still pick one to two days a month to schedule blog posts, weave my writing schedule around it, and take the school holidays off to get shit done.
– 2 – Continue to post to social during the week across the board and pin to my Pinterest boards monthly.
– 3 – Join TikTok and do videos for TikTok and Insta.
– 4 – I might do another online writing course or two.
– 5 – Continue with the local writers group.
– 6 – I still want to find that medium between blogging, writing/publishing, and time off. Come hell or high water, I’m going to try and find it this year because there are books I want to write and release.
– 7 – I want to make over the website for Royal Star Publishing and maybe L.J. Diva. Give them a new template, or a spruce up, to look more professional.
Now, onto lists…
I already had lists going into December, and you can see those four pages below…anything in orange was going to be put off until this year.
I managed to get most of it done, and there’s a very small list of extras to be done, such as printing Nancy stuff and whatever I couldn’t do because of not having a printer. So I need to catch up with all of that.
Plus I need to redo a lot of my bracelet stacks. I have floss elastic now, so at some point I’ll be restringing them.
But *drum roll please* here are the lists for 2022!
Thankfully I don’t have too much business stuff outside of publishing to do, so I should be able to focus on writing and getting something released by September. But looking at these plans now, as I’m uploading them, I think some of the release dates won’t be happening until next year, so who knows what will happen.
YAY ME!
So, that’s it. All of the things I hope to get done and I’m gonna do my damndest to get them done!
You are the queen of list making! And being organized is half the battle.

It certainly is. So is making sure everything is on the list.
