Okay, we've finally covered just about everything for the new year. We've got: 2018's broad accomplishments; 2018's detailed goal results; and 2019's goals. Now, it's the last step: setting new ninety-day goals for January through March and defining January's goals. We're a little late considering it's halfway through the month already, so let's hop to it!

"I'm not falling behind or running late
I'm not standing still, I am lying in wait"
From "Wait For It" in Hamilton
If I had to title my 2018 year-in-review, I would call it something like: "2018: Lying in wait." 2018 was a lot of preparation. I wrote and edited the most I ever have and I further refined my limited-budget marketing strategies. If you want more details about those, you can check out 2018's broad accomplishments and 2018's detailed goal results.
But now it's time to act. Now it's time for 2019!
Like previous years, I'll separate my goals into two categories: writing-related goals and business-related goals.

For this year's recap and annual goals-setting, I'm doing things a little differently. I'm going to start with the big picture (gasp!) and work my way into the details.
First up are my accomplishments. As an indie author, I have two main responsibilities. First, publish as many works as possible, whether that be through my blog, through sites like Prolific Works, or through the more traditional means of e-books, paperbacks, hardcovers, etc. through Amazon and other retailers.
My second job is to get my books into the hands of readers. Or to put it bluntly, to sell my books so that I can, you know, eat food, drink water, have shelter and healthcare, all those basic necessities for life.
So that's what we're going to look at first. How many works did I publish? How much did I sell?

Today, I have even more free books for you! These ones are all winter- or holiday-themed, perfect to get you in the spirit. :)
As you might imagine, there aren't a ton of holiday-themed books out there. So, I had to drop my typical criteria of at least 4.3 stars over 50+ reviews. But I checked out the descriptions and tried to find a little something for everyone. And hey, the books are free, so why not check them out?
