As we usher in the promising year of 2024, authors around the world are gearing up for a literary quest filled with creativity, growth, and accomplishment. It's a time for setting ambitious goals, breaking through barriers, and embracing the ever-evolving landscape of the writing industry. Boy do I ever have GOALS! Some of which I will keep to myself for the moment.
Though what I will share is that my goal every year has been to create more children's literature that speaks to my colourful readers. To be more active in my community and spread the word about what our company has to offer. Representing children from all nationalities will ALWAYS be our mission here at Colour Their World(CTW).
One of my key goals is to explore and conquer new literary territories. Diversifying genres that will not only challenge me, but expand my creative horizons which I believe will broaden readership. To think I started off with a poetry book for children between the ages of 5-9 years old to now offering student planners, apparel and much more. Talk about broadening my horizons.
I think I reached for more than the stars, I went for the moon too. Whether it's venturing into historical fiction or fantasy, I'll set my sights on breaking free from the constraints of a single genre and captivating a wider audience.
In an era dominated by technology, authors are increasingly recognizing the importance of digital platforms in reaching a global audience. Utilizing social media, blogs, and e-publishing platforms allows writers to connect with readers, share insights, and market their work effectively. The goal for 2024 is not only to embrace these digital tools, but also to master them, ensuring a dynamic online presence that enhances CTW'S visibility and engagement.
This means working on the back end of the website, creating eBooks for all of our Titles, writing more blogs such as this, and much more. Watch out now, cause I'm coming for all of you. You never know; you might just have a Colour Their World toothpaste soon. Lol!!! I'm joking, though that is a point to show one that you can't be all over the place when marketing. Know your audience and what their needs are.
Maintaining a sustainable writing routine is crucial for long-term success. Prioritizing my mental and physical well-being by setting realistic writing goals, taking breaks, and fostering a healthy work-life balance are all things I know I need to commit too. Though I'll be honest with you all...At the moment this is NOT ME. Though it's something I definitely aspire to be. I don't think I need to remind you that I have a family of five human beings I need to care for. Yes, I looped my husband in there too. Ha! So yes, back to the 2024 plan...I intend to establish sustainable habits which will allow me to stay productive, creative, and resilient in the face of challenges.
Collaboration and networking is something I have always believed in for the betterment of the company and for myself. It feels good to have fellow like minded entrepreneurs in my corner. When I first started this company I quickly realized the power of building connections with fellow writers, business owners, and members of the community. That's why collaborative projects, joint ventures, and networking events will continue to be on our agenda for 2024 providing us with valuable opportunities to learn, grow from.
I want to be committed to continue to use my platforms to advocate for diversity within the literary world. This involves not only creating diverse characters within my stories, but also continuing to speak and cover topics, conveyed through the eyes of a child.
THE GOAL is to contribute to a more equitable and representative literary landscape for future generations.
Here's to a year of growth, creativity, and unparalleled achievements in the realm of storytelling.
Till We Read Again!
