Writing Goals for 2018



I would like to publish these books in 2018:
  1. "Haunted House Flipper"
  2. "The Case of the Missing Snowman"
  3. "The Case of the Giant Beanstalk"
  4. "Zombie Super Powers"
  5. "We're Moving to Space"
  6. "A Home in the Stars"
Below are my plans to make that happen. I am hoping to blaze through first drafts by using speech to text a lot. I did a little speed test last night and here's what I found. The results are pretty exciting:
