January 2025 Writer Support Thread

My January goals are to:

  1. write faster or, rather, get further in the book than I did in Dec. I think that means simply finishing the first chapter - a draft of all four floors plus the skills check (behind the scenes visit). We’ll see!
    2.It’d be great if my main permission holder starts the next step of the conversation with me about rights.

My 2025 goals are:

  1. No matter what DON’T STOP WRITING. I have a major book coming out in the fall, with an associated podcast series and related book tour, but Exit Through the Gift Shop is my current next project, and I need to keep my eyes on the entire writing pipeline. That means not getting too distracted by any one part over the others - I want to advance them all.
  2. I don’t think it is reasonable for me to plan to finish the draft of EXIT by the end of the year. But I think it’s reasonable to expect to be 3/4 of the way through, have a finalized structure for the entire thing, a release plan, and resolve any lingering rights issues.
