New Year, New Tier

2019 is here, folks. I'm cautiously optimistic about it because last year I was able to accomplish most of the goals I set for myself, but there's still caution for the future because 2019 is an odd-numbered year. I tend to not do so well professionally in odd-numbered years. Don't ask me why, it just happens. I'm looking to break that streak this year by again setting the same goal as last year. I'm aiming for four published works by the end of 2019, which I now know is doable since I already accomplished it once. However, this time there won't be unfinished live projects to lean on. I'm making 2019's pieces all new and all polished to a shine when they are revealed.

I'm nearly twenty-five percent into my goal already with the upcoming poetry collection If It Was New York, Summer 2009. This collection will be available for pre-order soon. I've hit a few behind-the-scenes snags, otherwise the pre-order would be available now. But I've got a plan to fix all of that. I just need to strap myself to my computer and get all of it done, though it's difficult because I find myself in input mode rather than output mode. I'm consuming a lot of content, but the original stuff just isn't flowing out at a fast enough rate. 

In other news, if you have been interested in checking out my work or my Patreon page but still haven't done so, I've got a deal for you. There are ten spots available to sign up as a 2019 All-Star on my Patreon page. What does this mean? It means that you get access to all posts and tier rewards available and for only a $1. That includes exclusive excerpts of new projects, cover reveals, early access to ARCs, and my entire backlist--including the out-of-print Melody of Love novella series. Since there are only 10 spots available, I wouldn't hesitate to sign up.

What are your writing goals this year? What do you want to see happen for yourself in 2019?
