Writing and Blogging Bucket List 2017

Writing and Blogging Bucket List 2017 - My Random Musings

If you read my post reflecting on last year's bucket last, then you'll know that I said I would be posting this year's list today. In my post about setting realistic goals (which has some advice if you want to set goals but don't know where to start or you just need a bit of extra motivation) I mentioned that I have a five year plan. This list is year one of achieving that plan and all of the goals will impact on the five year plan in one way or another.

Have 2.5 Million page views on this blog

Have 12,000+ Twitter followers – If don't already follow me on Twitter, help me out with this one here

Have 3,000+ Instagram followers – You can help me out here

Have over 1,000 people like my Facebook page – Again, you can help me out here

Post to Instagram at least three times per week – I really let my Instagram posting schedule slip last year so I want to get back into this one.

Post every Monday-Friday on the blog with the exception of holidays

Complete all the blogmin tasks I've been putting off for over a year – Re-format old posts that didn't transition well when I went self hosted, run a broken link checker and fix them all, add images to some older posts

Set up a website for my freelance writing business – I've actually already done this as I found a hosting package deal that made it too good to wait, but it still needs some work and I have a few other pages etc that need adding. you can check out what I have so far here. And if you need any freelance writing work doing, get in touch – randommusings29@gmail.com

Do at least one vlog – this is something I always said I would never do and to be honest, the thought still terrifies me, but where's the fun in letting fear stop you!

Take part in the April A-Z Blogging Challenge

Read 100 books

Complete #NaNoWriMo

Dig out and edit the manuscripts I have laying around gathering virtual dust and get them ready to use!

Find a literary agent – This was on last year's list, and to be honest, it was a token gesture. I knew I was far too impatient to wait around before releasing my first novel so I emailed one agent then self published before they even had a chance to respond. This time, I'm doing it properly!

Write and publish another short story collection

Write and publish at least two non-fiction books

Look into getting my books into a store – if anyone happens to run, or know someone who runs, a book store, please do let me know!

Increase my monthly income by fifty percent. This will be through a combination of brand work on my blog and through my freelancing and book sales

Write another novel and have it ready for publishing in November

Stop procrastinating and flitting from task to task – Just sit down and get on with one task at a time!

Do you have any goals for 2017? Let me know in the comments 🙂
