Best Laid Plans Goals

CHECK: A Celebratory Post!

August 20, 2024

Remember this post?

Well . . . my estate planning is not done (though it is close; we had to move our document signing date but everything is ready and all of our decision making is complete!)

My house is ABSOLUTELY NOT organized (fine Kae, you win this round lol)

But I can now say that I DID write a book proposal!!! ~16,000 words. 2 full-length sample chapters. All of the sections required (I think. I hope. I used this book plus a template sent to me by a very kind podcast listener who successfully published a nonfiction book on an entirely unrelated subject!)

From my 2024 annual goals list. Technically it’s still summer!!!

Is it perfect? Absolutely not. But it is a labor of love and in many ways felt so natural to write, since it is essentially an extension of what I teach and share on Best Laid Plans and in BLPA. I am sure there are probably some reasons things like this are better kept secret (?business reasons, who knows?) but I am just so happy I put it together and got it finished. Sending gratitude to Kae + my dad who each gave it a last-minute once over! (Cannot share more than that and I do not know what will become of said proposal but just so happy that it EXISTS and that I WROTE IT.)

Cracking open a Strawberry Sunset Bubly (I mean, a cocktail would be nice but I have a lot of other work to do) and planning on a celebratory nap. It has been a long week already.
