Welcome 2023!

Ciao, amici! Felice Anno Nuovo!

I am stunned that it’s already 2023. I feel like it shouldn’t even be the 2000s yet. But here we are—another year gone, another ahead of us.

January is always weird for me. It’s so full of promise, but it’s also a glum time of year. I get winter doldrums, so motivating myself in the cold, dreary months after the holidays takes a lot of effort on my part.

But I’m nothing if not stubborn. (Ask my family.) So, I push through.

I don’t make “resolutions” for the new year, but I always start January with a personal and professional hope list. Here are a few of my business goals:

• Complete and release a standalone supernatural suspense, a crime trilogy, and a special project.
• Publish to Vocal once a month (minimum).
• Grow my newsletter.
• Create a successful marketing plan for new and evergreen content, including ads.
• Come up with a blog schedule that doesn’t bombard you and doesn’t overwhelm me.
• Expand my business/clientele.

It’s a full load, for sure. But you’ll never get to the moon if you don’t reach for the stars.

If you’d like to share your vision for 2023, I’d love to hear it. Let’s talk below. Saluti!
