2023 in retrospect for Ghost Blogger

    Ghost Blogger entered 2023 without any new post ans so it remained. While I didn't have any comissioned book to work on, other blogs needed my attention, mostly for brand protection.

    The month of February saw the retake of the news sites Fourth Pig, once in a self domain, now reduced to a simple blog.

    In March, I reedited the old e-commerce sites Santa's Little Shop, Jack's Little Shop and Cupid's Little Shop, formerly self domains, now as simple blogs too.

    Yet in March, I initiated Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Finances * But The H**s Kept Finding You, about finances, under the pseudonym of Karen Adams, and Tea Lovers, initially intended to be a community, in the blog form as well.

    March hasn't ended yet and another old project took the form of a blog, for more brand protection and community support, Legal Tender project is being postponed for over ten years, but my situation since then has changed considerably.

    In August, a much older project was retaken, Acts & Crafts. while also translated to Spanish and Portuguese, in the modest blog form.

    In the same month, I started a blog for my short stories, under the pseudonym of Karen Stärcke, but decided to hold on from posting for a while until I can get away from forced isolation. I stopped caring about it, but there are some practical issues that needs solving as well before I go on posting my short stories.

    November came and another old project was retaken, in a reduced form, Illustrated Guide, except there are no ilustrations yet, only text, also translated to Spanish and Portuguese.

    In November, also Poison? magazine was created as a blog, for now featuring only Coin Coin! comic strips.

    In December, a lot has happened, starting the publications of art web - websites for artists, translated to German, Spanish and Portuguese; Rosebud Press, also translated to those languages; Brand Kitchen and Creative Passive, about sources of passive income for creative professionals and artists, both translated to Portuguese.

    In December too, Fourth Pig announced the publication of a series of new articles for ongoing formation for entrepreneurs and executive professionals called CEO School. 


Happy New Year!

Karen

Setting, accountability and achievement of goals - Part 2

      On the first part of this post , I presented tips for setting, prioritizing and organizing your goals. Now we are going to see how to make sure you don't give them up along the year.     So, how do you keep pursuing your goals with  all through the year? Keeping track of goals and keeping goals on track     The title of this section must have reminded you of Martha Stewart 's motto* : I'm huge fan of her organization tips.  * "A place for everything and everything on its place."      So, I divided the  Purgatory of Goals  in  'keep it'  (monthly/weekly/daily),  'depend mainly upon me' ,  'depend on others'  and  'maybe'  goals.     Then, I started to look for the already stablished routine through the preliminary list and put them under the 'keep it' group in the Purgatory Goal List  only as a reminder.     Next, I did the same for the other goals, ordering them by priority. Breaking goals into smaller tasks     We ca

Setting, accountability and achievement of goals - Part 1

     One thing I love about the beginning of a New Year is setting goals and New Year's resolutions . But, for the majority of people, they tend to be forgotten before the end of the first month .       So, how do you set your goals and keep consistently pursuing them all through the year?     While I was reading through my goals for this year to sort them in order of priority for their execution, I had the idea of writing this post sharing my system for organizing them and getting it done.     You may have goals for different areas of your life , but it's a good idea grouping them all together in your schedule.     I wrote my personal and professional goals together in another profile . On this blog, I posted my writing goals . I have worked with design , mainly design for web, development and animation . but been a songwriter since childhood and also wrote some screenplays that were hugely succesful , but I didn't receive my authorship credits and patrimonial rights yet

Setting, accountability and achievement of goals - Part 3

    On  the   first  and the second parts of this post, I presented tips for setting, prioritizing and organizing your goals, and for making sure you don't give them up along the year.  Now we are going to see how evaluate your goal list.     So, how do you evaluate your goals with  all through the year? Accountability and evaluation of goals     It's a good idea to check periodically if your goals are being met, for instance, at the end of each month, so you don't run the risk of coming to the end of the year without achieving them, and, in case they´re not, you can adjust your schedule .     It's also good to review your goals from time to time, to see if they fit within the big picture of your life plan and inner motivations .     For that, you must be aware of your priorities and motivations, and ask yourself: is this helping me in the path to what's really important for me ? if not, maybe you´d better drop this goal or change it for another one.     I told
