Hello 2025

 Yes, maybe this post is a wee bit late. It might be January 11th, but let’s ring in 2025. 

First we gotta say goodbye to 2024… 

I got six new tattoos. 

I read 96 books. 

I published my debut novel, and completed (and edited) the sequel. 

I went to my first convention as an author. 

Code Red surpassed 100 copies sold!

I made some amazing friends. 

My fiancĂ© and I are celebrating seven years together in thirty four days. 

2024 may not have been all good, but I’m thankful to have made it through another year. 

What is Taila going to be doing in 2025? 

First off I am going to do a LOT of writing. My goal is to have five more books written by the end of this year. My hope is that you will see four releases (one of these will of course be Blue Dreams in March). I know this is an ambitious goal, but I believe with a lot of hard work and my amazing support system I think I can do it. 

I am going to get at least four more tattoos. 

I want to spend more time with friends. I want to get out more, I need to remember to balance my time better. 

Investing more into experiences (ie concerts, events, etc). 

I’m going to try to read 100 books this year, including branching into more genres. 

Saving money! This is something I really struggle with. I aimed in 2024 in gain more financial discipline, I’ll be continuing to work on that in 2025. 

Grow and be Better. As always, I want to continue to expand my understanding of myself and others. I want to never stop learning and growing. 

This is an ambitious list of things I’m aiming for. I don’t expect to do everything on my lists (I certainly didn’t list all of my goals here), but progress is progress. 

Now I better get back to writing these books, for some reason they refuse to write themselves. 

Taila Out.
