My Goals for 2020 #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-08-20
Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-8-20 My goals for 2020… Lets get started.,
As I ponder what the New Year will bring, I decided on a few of My Goals for 2020. First and foremost I’m going to slow down, take time to notice what is changing around me. I seem to always be focused on what’s coming up several hours from the present or days or weeks ahead. Life is to short to live life in that fashion. You miss so much. I hope to, no let me rephrase I will do the following:
Have more quiet, reflective walks with Mystic my dog. We have great conversations as we tour the neighborhood or hike in the mountains. One sided sometimes, but my dog is a great listener and doesn’t judge.
Spend more playtime with our Eclectus parrot, Taco.
Take time to appreciate and enjoy each day.
Keep the those with negative thoughts or words at bay. Life’s to short.
While working towards my professional goals, I’ll up my word count goal to 8,000 words written in a week this year.
I hope to have one or two more books contracted and published. Really, I”d like to go for three, but… I know that is pushing it. LOL
Make time to exercise and lose weight.
Read and review least 25 books – GoodReads Challenge.
Promo… a necessary thorn in my side. Find new places to advertise my book. I’ve already made arrangements to attend a craft show and book signing at Pagosa Springs, Colorado huge festival over the Fourth of July. It will be my first time there.
Set up my promo’s in advance for an entire week, leaving me more time for writing.
Attempt to get my sales to the new level. Not an easy feat.
Search out more reviews. Yep this is a tough one.
Take more time for family and friends, you don’t know how long they will be around. The future is not a given so make the most of your present.
Last but not least, My Goals for 2020 spend more time camping in our new fifth wheel for long weekends from Spring to Fall. All the comforts of home on wheels! LOL
I best get back to my WIP, or one of my goals will be slipping away before 2020 even gets started! LOL Alas, back to my writing cave where deadlines loom,
so let’s see what other authors list as their goals for 2020. L&SR

A little about Charm Me Again!
For several months a Scottish Highland Ghost has haunted Daylan, in his personal life, his professional life and at his forge. Yet, being a talented warlock, he is no closer to discovering what the ghost wants or why he chose Daylan. A trip to his estranged sister’s home in Colorado may have unforeseen consequences especially when family history leads him to a shocking discovery.
As his attraction blooms for Josie, a yoga instructor in his sister’s studio, he realizes there may be more to Josie than he can imagine. When an ancient rogue Fae Warrior set on revenge kidnaps her in an attempt to claim her as his own, a devastating curse comes to light.
Daylan’s world spirals out of control as he searches for Josie. Can he break the age old curse to save her and their future, or will she be lost to him forever?

A little about Mystic Maples:
Earth/Fire witch Mercy Rose’s insatiable curiosity always gets her in trouble.

Looking for peace and quiet, she finds just the opposite in a startling handsome but mysterious man and his dog.

Along the way their lives intertwine, and they discover the true meaning of family and love. Will they change the past in time to save their future?
A sneak peek between the pages of Mystic Maples
It was a beautiful summer evening lit by a full moon. What harm could come from simply popping over to Mystic Maples, digging my toes into the earth and see if there is any truth to the rumors? She shrugged. Sis wouldn’t have told me about it, if she hadn’t thought it worth investigating. Right?
She toed off her shoes, pulled off her socks and straightened. With a snap of her fingers she left the room without a sound and landed smack dab at the edge of the maple trees. Glancing around, she could see the house in the distance and the outline of the sign. “Good, I’m in the right place.” She wandered farther in among the trees, the dirt beneath her feet was cool. Wiggling her toes deeper into the earth, she felt the warmth of the day and something else—a connection.
Several trees had a slight glow to them, then it was gone. Am I imagining…She raised her arms out from her sides and turned her face to the starlit sky letting the magic surge through her. It had been almost a year since magic of any kind called to her. It felt so good, she was lost in the moment.
Suddenly a male voice broke through her revelry. “What are you doing here?”
Her heart thundered in her chest. She hadn’t heard a sound. Yet, there he was standing not three feet from her, hands on hips, and glaring at her.

About the author:
Tena Stetler is a best-selling author of award winning paranormal romance novels. She has an over-active imagination, which led to writing her first vampire romance as a tween to the chagrin of her mother and delight of her friends.
With the Rocky Mountains outside her window, she sits at her computer surrounded by a wide array of paranormal creatures, with a Navy SEAL or two mixed in telling their tales. Her books tell stories of magical kick-ass women and strong mystical males that dare to love them. Travel, adventure and a bit of mystery flourish in her books along with a few companion animals to round out the tales.
Colorado is her home; shared with her husband of many moons, a brilliant Chow Chow, a spoiled parrot and a forty-seven year old box turtle.
