Happy New Year 🎊

I've got some big goals in 2025!

We've made it to the start of another year, which means new goals and new stories! I didn't publish much in 2024 aside from my short story in Fiyah Lit. I took a much needed break from hard deadlines after publishing WE ARE DYING GODS, but it's time to get back to it.

This year, I'm making writing my priority and I'm not letting anything distract me from it. So, expect lots of new projects from me. I'm starting a new series, finishing my trilogy, publishing an anthology, and writing a duology. And I can't wait for y'all to read it all. Click the link in my bio if you want to snag yourself a signed copy of any of those projects.

And if you want to support this journey and get a front row seat to it, then join my Patreon. They get everything first 🤎

... Read moreAs we step into 2025, many people reflect on their aspirations and set new goals. Prioritizing personal and professional growth is essential for a fulfilling year. For writers like C.M. Lockhart, this means creating compelling narratives and impactful stories. This year, Lockhart plans to share an exciting series, a trilogy completion, and an anthology, ensuring readers have plenty to look forward to. Setting clear, achievable goals can dramatically enhance productivity. Utilizing methods like time-blocking, maintaining a dedicated writing space, and setting deadlines for project completions can help in staying focused. Joining a community or platform, like Patreon, provides additional support and motivation, allowing followers to engage with the writing process more intimately. As we embark on this yearly adventure, let us remember to celebrate small victories, seek inspiration, and collaborate with fellow creatives. Writing is more than a task; it’s a journey that involves sharing personal experiences, exploring the depths of imagination, and connecting with others. Engaging with the audience through platforms like Lemon8 builds a deeper connection, allowing authors to share their progress, challenges, and victories, thus enriching the writing experience. So, as you set your goals for 2025, think about what stories you want to tell and how you can make your literary dreams a reality. The power of storytelling can inspire change not only for the author but also for the readers who experience those narratives. Let’s embrace this year with passion and determination!
