Do you set personal goals for yourself?

Do I set personal goals for myself? Yes, I do. Although I will admit that if I do set a goal or two that I normally don’t follow up to see if I have achieved that goal or not. But it is something I am working on for next year. As a matter of fact, here are my personal goals for 2027 and my writing/publishing goals for 2027. 

Personal goals for 2027:

1) Start learning Korean – I did start off learning Korean at first before I landed in South Korea but I slowed down significantly. I really need to pick it back up. 

2) Work on establishing my online course/school. I have some really great ideas when it comes to this. I really want to exercise this in 2027 and I have bought some books to start my Journey. If you’re interested in the books I have purchased to support this endeavor, I will provide the links below to where I purchased these wonderful books.

3) Finish up my journal therapy/coaching class. Again, I haven’t started this yet considering I am still working on book four of the Truson S.E.T. series. However, I bought the course back in September and I am super excited to get started on it. It looks like I won’t officially be starting until November. 

Writing/Publishing goals 2027 

1). Doing Special editions – My plan is to start working on doing Special editions for the first three books in my book series. It will include character art and maybe some other things I can’t think of at the moment.

2) Finish the next writing project in the Truson S.E.T. series. Actually, that means spending time rewriting the next two books I have planned for next year: The Reinmans and Lex (which will be a spinoff of the Truson S.E.T. Series). 

3) Get the process going when it comes to hiring an agency to promote your books so that all you need to do is just write the next one. This would be the final goal for me. I would love for this to become reality one day and I think I will start the process in 2027. 

4) Traditional Publishing: Yes, you are reading that right. I do plan to go back to traditional publishing next year. I am not sure if I want to get a literary agent and work with the the big five publisher of if I just want to follow my childhood dream of being a Harlequin author (something I have been wanting since I was twelve). I am in the process of writing a book for Harlequin Presents and I’m hoping to get it done and submitted by the end of 2027. 

That’s it. These are all the goals I have for 2027. My hope is that I will be able to follow up on it in the near future.

What do you think is the future of AI?

View all responses

I don’t know. We are living in a crazy time right now where one nation is fighting hard against the use of AI to keep their jobs and careers while there are other nations who welcome it whole heartedly. Maybe AI is a tool that could be used to do things that we have never done before. Maybe not. There are some things that AI could be used for that in hindsight, may come out as good. Or not. Right now, there is an uproar when it comes to AI in creative writing spaces, that AI steals content from real authors and illustrators and loads it into a system to create it as its own. 

What can I say? AI is a choice. You can use it at your own peril. However, there is something that needs to be said when there are certain people that are saying that AI is dangerous and that we should slow down because of the fast advancements AI is making towards the world. 

But what can I say right? I’m just an author and a teacher who is just trying to live my life as best I know how.

Which book’s world would be the absolute worst to live in?

*If you want to see my original post based on this question, you can click down on the link below to see the original post that I related to the rules of my own book series, The Truson S.E.T. Series, and why I wouldn’t be able to survive that either. 

It’s a hard question to answer 

I know that a lot of people don’t like Fourth Wing or the Empryean Series altogether. I understand where you are coming from. The fandom has gotten out of hand lately where it has been just straight bullying when it comes to the author and what she is currently going through. But here, the question was what world would be the absolute worst to live in the book world?

My answer: Surviving the world that Rebecca Yarros has created in Fourth Wing- the fictional kingdom of Navarre at Basgiath War College. 

1) The name alone is terrible within itself. Who would want to sing up to go to a war college??? A war college??? I guess you can say the same thing as me signing up to go to the army (Although I don’t think I would make it based on my eyesight alone).

2) The dragons! Can you imagine being in aa dragon’s presence when you are in it’s path? There are ones that can burn you alive with one flick of its mouth. How would I be able to do it? I wouldn’t. 

3) The signets. Wait, what? You mean to tell me that I have to use powers that I probably don’t even know I had yet in order to get a signet??? Then on top of that, I have to fight other riders and their dragons to go even further when it comes to battles? No thank you. 

It’s all fun and games when it comes to being in an interactive game online where you are close but not too close. Thresing Day in the United States became an event for the ages. Not only did Rebecca Yarros go all out in New York City when it came to her fans being in the experience by letting people walk the parapet, she actually created a website where they can try to be the main character (Violet) and try their best to battle people and dragons to own a dragon online. 

Again, I don’t think I would be able to survive the Kingdom of Navarre. I think that if I had to go, I would be a scribe (Which would suit me quite well considering I love to write).

Which book’s world would be the absolute worst to live in?

View all responses

I will admit that this is a good question to ask considering the books I have read and written. Lately, I have been taking an interest in fantasy books after being invested into contemporary and paranormal romance for so long. A part of me wants to go back to romance considering all of the fandom that has been happening lately in the fantasy space. Anyway, I think in the book world, I could not survive as a hybrid in my book world on the Island of Truson. 

Why?

1) I wouldn’t be able to deal with the transformation itself. The transformation is so painful from human to animal that the chances of having to transform into their animal forms for a total of twelve hours before they have to transform back into their human forms again. I think I would want to die after that. 

2) Another thing that happens in my book world is that they have powers. They use a special liquid called the Animan Three-Hundred. This requires them to alter their DNA so that they will be able to transform into a hybrid with supernatural powers. Their powers are controlled by their emotions. Since I am highly emotional human being, I would internally be destroying everything that comes into my path. 

3) The final thing would be me not falling for temptation when it comes to not sleeping with the other hybrids in my clan. Some of the people are gorgeous in the other clans but one of the laws when it comes to my world is that you are not able to cross breed (meaning if I were a half-human, half-dolphin hybrid that I am forbidden to sleep with someone who is half-human, half-shark). But I will have to follow the rules eventually and will marry the person that’s in my clan. 

4) Finally, I would have to say that the battles my character has to endure would be enough for me to say “I Quit”. The majority of my characters in the Truson S.E.T. Series has powers that can manipulate the weather, send people to their early grave through insects, and even give birth to swords that will kill you within seconds. I think I would value my life too much to go through that. 

Now, the question goes back to the ones reading this post: Which book’s world would be the absolute worst to live in?
