I forgot to write down my monthly goals for July, but I did actually manage to do quite a bit in July and finish some of my larger goals. For August, I want to stick to a rather strict writing regime and tackle some projects that have been on the backburner for a while.

Here are my goals for August:

• Promote the Kingdom of Mirrors and Roses box set that I’m part of with my Beauty and the Beast retelling, A Monstrous Beauty – Part One.
• Finish writing Part Two of A Monstrous Beauty (since I only signed up for the box set beginning of July, and release date was August 1, I only managed to include Part One of the story in the box set. Part Two will be released seperately but I don’t want to let readers wait too long.
• Finalize cover for A Monstrous Beauty.
• Set up a page on my website for my fairytale retellings (since more are coming!).
• Send out my monthly newsletter.
• Format and prepare paperback version of A Monstrous Beauty.
• Finish writing the manuscript for The Wolf of the Baskervilles (The Adventures of Marisol Holmes #3).
• Work on a schedule for upcoming releases (since I have a lot of releases coming up, and most of these I still have to write and/or edit).
• First round of editing for The Wolf of the Baskervilles (The Adventures of Marisol Holmes #3).
• Write at least two blog posts per week on my blog.
• Review five books for I Heart Reading (total: 0/5).
• Review three books for Ind’Tale Magazine (total: 0/3).
• Update information about my books on forums I’m participating in, on my website and on Goodreads.
• Set up a page on my website for Murder in Mind series.
• Work on an outline for the first book in my RH academy series.
• Finish first draft for the first book in my RH academy series (still untitled).
• Finish outlining the Sleeping Beauty retelling I’m working on for the Kingdom of Thorns and Dreams box set.
• Write an outline for Wonderland Wars.
• Finalize outline for Wicked Blood, the first book in the Blood Witch series.
• Work on the non-fiction paper I’m planning (writing stage).
• Work on the non-fiction paper I’m planning (editing stage).

I know, it’s a lot! But I’ll happy if I manage to tackle over half of this goals, and progress is progress. Having hard deadlines helps me out a lot, though, as it means I have to focus.

What are your goals for this month?
