To heck with the calendar. I know January has come and practically gone. I don’t care. My 2010 is starting…NOW.
And it’s going to be The Year of Writing a Better Novel. I’ve spent over a month trying to figure out what would be most helpful to readers of this blog, and come up with a rough plan for delivering the posts I hope you want. Here it is:
• Continue posting the kinds of do-it-yourself information that’s not easy to come by.
• Plan more interviews with authors, agents, and editors.
• Publish more posts from guest bloggers.
That’s a start. But it’s just my thinking. To get a better view, I’ve created a poll–it’s over in the right sidebar–to get your take on it. If you are a visitor to this blog, frequent or infrequent, please take a few seconds to weigh in on what would make you want to come back.
In the meantime, in my next post, I’ll offer a few tips about what’s on everybody’s mind, How to Get Your Novel Published in 2010.
Guest posts will begin in February, with Eros-Alegra Clarke’s advice for new moms on how they can get those pages done while simultaneously mothering a small baby.
“Roadblocks and obstacles” is a subject that interests me no end, by the way, so I would love it if you left a comment below with an personal example of how you manage obstacles: situational and emotional, as well as biological. How do you write through difficulty? And how have you personally–or someone you know–managed to prevail?
Inspiration! 2010 is also going to be the year of getting inspired. I need it, you need it, we all need it. Let’s explore the ways we inspire ourselves and each other.
Starting next week: Watch for video tips and new sidebar features.
