Writing Goals for 2024
Writing-in-Public Update #54
1 min readJan 15, 2024
2023 was a great year.
2024… let’s turn it up a notch.
No small talk. Let’s get stuck into the 3 goals:
- Complete a “Vibe Check” with beta readers.
- Send one query letter to a publishing agent.
- Post 12 updates (once each month).
VIBE CHECK
- You can read my book at any time you wish (click here to check it out), but it doesn’t feel … OFFICIAL.
- Well, around the 1st of April, I’ll be launching the first 3 chapters, for a select group of beta readers.
- Read to the end of you’d like to be a part of the coolest group since BTS…
MONTHLY UPDATES
- Last year the people spoke -> “Gimme book. Or give me death!”.
- So I’ll be writing fewer updates (once a month) to spend more time writing the darn thing.
SEND A QUERY LETTER
- I just want to send ONE before the end of the year.
- The query letter basically says, “I’m a nobody but think I have a good book. Can you tell publishers so that they can give me money to write it?!”.
- This just means my book has to be at a point where I want to show agents and convince them it’s a book that can sell.
