If you saw my yearly goals and quarterly goals you’ll know that I have 2 goals for January. Each goal has several steps involved in order to consider it complete. At the monthly level is where those steps start appearing.

– Edit – my round of edits (January 15th)
– Send to editor (January 20th)
– Write blurb (January 10th – 20th)

Goal 2
