This year I chose the word Publish – To inspire me to publish my books this year. With Kindle Vella closing, I decided it was time to move my books to the ebook and print format. I have all these ideas for my books, but I have not published anything new. It’s time to get these books out of my closet and on the shelves. I’m learning formatting, so that will help me move ahead
Last year I set goals for myself, but I didn’t write them down anywhere. They were in my head. Sometimes I have a bad habit of doing that, so this year I decided that I was going to write them down here on the blog, so I would have a physical reminder of what my goals are for 2025. I would like to publish eight books – two books a quarter. I would like to

Here’s what it said. At the end of the month,
