Now that my novel, “The Wentworth Legacy” is done and ready for publication, what’s next? Starting today, Aug. 7, I challenge myself to do the following.

1. Write 60,000 words for twelve weeks, averaging 5,000 per week towards my next book. Is this doable, with all that is going on in my life being an editor of two newsletters and a caretaker of my husband who is on home dialysis? I think I can. I know I can.

2. Read 10 books during the twelve-week period towards my 2016 Goodreads Reading Challenge. My goal this year is 30 books. I have read 16 books so far so I have 14 to go to finish the year. If I finish 10 books for the next 12 weeks, I can read 2 books each month for November and December to finish my 2016 reading goal. Can I do it? I think I can. I know I can.

3. Do daily marketing of my newly published book, “The Wentworth Legacy” to a least ten people/places a day. That’s means 70 people/places for the week. If you are reading this, please spread the word about my book. Thank you. I do appreciate it very much. Marketing is a necessary thing if you want people to know your book exist. Can I do it? I think I can. I know I can.

I will account for things done every Saturday. The first report is on next Saturday, Aug. 13, 2016.

I’m ready for the big challenge. Off I go . . .
