If you don’t set deadlines, you can’t miss them

So, I’m not so much setting deadlines as estimating targets, I guess? I’ve got four big projects I want to get out over the coming 12 months (that’s a year, I double-checked).

Not an Elf: Jake & Boo’s first Christmas, we meet the Petreski family (there’s a lot of them), and eat a bunch of pie.
Target: Publish October 2018
Progress: Outlining is almost done, the intro has been written.

Love Letters: Cable’s Bend 2 – sequel to Saving Grapes, the story of Ben’s father.
Target: Publish early December 2018
Progress: Story points and characters done, writing ~25%,

Not a Witch: Book 5 of Jake & Boo. Jake & Don return to Mesquite Springs, the Hill Country town from Not a Werewolf. Introduces Talia Sharpe, niece of an old friend of Miss Nancy’s.
Target: Publish late March 2019
Progress: Characters, notes, underway.

Book 1 of A Hill Country Witch: A new series! Talia Sharpe doesn’t believe in magic and always rolled her eyes at her aunt’s eccentric ways. But now the family shop is hers, and she finally has to admit that not everything can be explained away as coincidence or intuition. Now Talia’s got to decide if she’s staying in this weird little town where the oddball residents make her Aunt Ellie look downright normal.
Target: Publish early June 2019
Progress: Notes and character sketches started.
