Plan for July

July is going to be very busy as I’m writing two Regency romances for the ghostwriting client at the same time. Whilst that means that I need to write at least 4,000 words per day, though, it also means that I’ll be getting a weekly wage. So it’s not all bad.

The month started with me already a little behind on the 5th ghostwriting gig, but I think I have a handle on it all.

I have a load of other stuff to do in July too, including starting to plan and collate material for the e-magazine I hope to launch on 1 September. This is all part of my ongoing publishing schedule.

Here, then, is the plan for July:

My writing
  • Night Crawler – publish the last 5 chapters, one at a time, on Medium
  • Diary of a Scaredy Cat – publish the last 5 chapters, one at a time, on Medium
  • finish writing Project Management for Writers: Gate 1 (<9,000 words)
  • Project Management for Writers – get the poet’s input on as many chapters as I can
  • start to serialise Project Management for Writers on Medium (14 chapters + introduction + extra info)
  • republish 4 x Wednesday Writing Prompts on Medium (only 4 working Wednesdays in July)
  • publish Lilac in the Spring on Medium
  • publish New Year’s Revolution on Medium
  • publish One Born Every Minute on Medium
  • publish Pancake Race on Medium
  • publish C is for… Cayton Bay on Medium
  • publish D is for… Danby Castle on Medium
  • publish E is for… Elsecar on Medium
  • publish F is for… Fountain’s Abbey on Medium
  • republish Twee Tales Too in paperback
  • republish Twee Tales Twee in paperback
  • continue to think about the 1,000 followers competition
  • write 4 new stories for other publications on Medium
  • plan content for first 4 issues of Words Worth Reading magazine
  • start to collate the content for Words Worth Reading magazine
  • read through Mardi Gras
  • write 8,000 words for The Beast Within

More about the magazine in a future blog post. And more about Mardi Gras too.
