December Goals

Here is what I have coming up for December:

Rent - $565
Electric - $130
Water - $35 (technically due in January)
Cable - $170 (one month behind)
Gas - $100 (estimate)

That brings me up to $1,000 total. Then come the other "expenses"...

Christmas Gifts - $500 (total estimate! I have three nieces, two nephews, two sister-in-laws, two brothers, parents, and a boyfriend).
Christmas Cookies - $100 (another estimate, want to try new recipes this year)
Christmas Decorations - $100 (lost most of mine during the last move)

Add that $700 to the other total and factor in the costs of living expenses, i.e. gas and food, and the price keeps rising.

To reach my goals, I want to get two ebooks loaded onto the Kindle platform. Both are haunted tales and both just need a final edit and cover finished. I also plan on writing for five content mills/private clients and publishing five articles per week on Suite 101 and possibly YCN. The YCN articles will likely be page views only and uploaded as "Display Only". I also have a chance to write for another client that will put $200 to $500 in my pocket each week, which would be very nice right now!
