What Did You Do This Week, Gail? Jan. 5th Edition.

I'm bringing back the What Did You Do This Week, Gail? feature, even though one of my more faithful readers has said it doesn't make for compelling reading. I'm keeping it because it works big time for me. It gives me an opportunity to look back over the week and make sure I'm working toward at least some of my goals for the year. And when it comes to social media marketing, it gives me a deadline. I hustle to get things done so I can report that I did them here.

So, this week:

Goal 1. Make Submissions Of  Completed Work Throughout The Year. I knocked off Objective 1, Submissions to editors and agents from November NESCBWI program.

Goal 3. Generate New Work I revised the early part of two manuscripts this past month and spent the last two days integrating it into the rest of the manuscript. Which is like generating new work.

Goal 4. Community Building/General Marketing/Branding I did three blog posts 

• My Year in Books Post--Promoted to Google+, Twitter, and Goodreads.
• Time Management Tuesday Post--Promoted to Google+, Twitter, and Facebook.
• The War that Saved My Life Post--Promoted to Google+, a Google+ community, Twitter,  Goodreads, and sort of to Pinterest. It's been a while since I've done anything on Pinterest, and I'm having trouble making that work.

I also sent out the newsletter edition of the January Connecticut Children's Literature Calendar.
