Hello and welcome to the new year, lovelies! I am so excited to start 2019 because I have so many projects going on, and I just can't wait to start tackling them so I can bring them all out to you.

Once you figure out a few key things about your writing habits and capabilities, planning out how long it will take you to complete any given project will be only too easy.
