Part of the Indie Author Series
I kicked off my posts here with some articles on organization for writers. Since this is typically the time when people look back over the past year and plan for the next, I thought it appropriate to write a new installment for this series, this time on goal planning.
Indie writers have a unique advantage that can also be a disadvantage, if not managed properly--we have the freedom to create our own production schedule.

Timely blog, Angela. I've bought the author life planner to help me with 2017 - I did have a great plan for 2016 but it decided to mess up big time, so will be taking forward what I had planned. I also use a half year planner and a self publishing timetable where I put deadlines for all the key parts of producing a book, from macro edit to publication. It's a kind of belts and braces type of thing. I did try having some digital planning but I tend to ignore the reminders more easily than I do when they're written in red ink! Good luck with your plans...
