Q2 2021 Goals Review and Q3 2021 Goals

Nicole J Simms/ July 18, 2021/ Blog/ 0 comments

It’s July, and that means we are in the third quarter of 2021. Wow, we’re halfway through the year. This year is flying by, and I’m struggling to keep up.

I had many plans for the second quarter. I promised myself that I would finally be focused and motivated, but that didn’t happen. It wasn’t a complete failure, though. Q2 was a quarter that involved a lot of rethinking. I figured out what was holding me back, what I wanted to work on and what kind of author I want to be.

I have a short post for you today: I want to share my supernatural horror and ghost horror indie author reading list.
So, why did I create this reading list? If you’re a regular visitor to my website, you know I’m a big fan of reading a set of books in the genre I plan to write my novel or series in. For me, reading is the best way to learn the rules of a genre.

Wow, it’s been ages since I wrote a post. I wish I could say I’ve been busy taking over the world, but I haven’t. However, I have been busy.

So, what have I been up to? Mostly, I’ve been spending two months of quarter two being indecisive. Why? Well, let me start from the beginning.

Once upon a time … ha-ha! Okay, I’m just messing, but I do want to take you back to 2017, so let’s jump in the time machine and go back, back in time.

Working in Sprints — A Productivity Experiment

Nicole J Simms/ May 22, 2021/ Blog/ 0 comments

Wow! It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog post. The primary reason for my blogging absence is because I needed all of my energy to edit my horror flash fiction collection (I’m no longer going to publish this collection, but I’ll explain why in a future post). But I’m back, and today I want to talk to you about the productivity experiment I did recently.
