So here we are on the first day of the last month of the year. In a mere 31 days, we’ll be entering into a brand new year and a brand new decade. Are you ready? Have you successfully scratched off most of the items on your 2019 writing and self-publishing to-do list? Are you making plans to complete, publish and promote projects in 2020? So much to think about…
And while you’re thinking about that, don’t forget:
- Your blog posts for December’s Carnival of the Indies blog carnival by midnight December 15th.
- Submissions for December’s e-Book Cover Design Awards will be accepted until the end of the month, Tuesday, December 31st–New Year’s Eve.
