New Year and Small Changes

It’ a New Year, and my goals for this year, 2018, are the same as my goals for 2017. I want to get a girlfriend and get a literary agent. One thing that I am changing is my approach to things by making small adjustments. I think that there’s this idea that change needs to be relatively big whether it’s in dieting or other things, but I’ve learned that small adjustments make a big difference.

For example, with my podcast on Youtube, I’m going back to showing my face and talking to the camera instead of the viewer just seeing a picture. I’m changing the placement of where I advertise my website and my book on the actual podcast in order to get to the meat of the podcast instead of having this long, drawn-out introduction. With getting a literary agent, I’m making small tweaks to my query letters, but also doing more reading on how to make better dialogue in my stories. I then plan to re-edit the dialogue.

I’m hopeful and motivated, which is good. At the end of 2017, I was getting less motivated with how I was marketing my works and myself, especially through the podcast. I am going to look at 2017 as a year of just planting the seeds via practice and educating myself in order to eventually reach my goals.
