So, what did I get up to last year?
My #1 goal was to query and submit.
I did that, and then some.
Unfortunately it didn't get me anything but rejections.
I've let myself in for a lot of work starting this year, but I'm not quite ready to say what it is yet. (Not until the t's are crossed and the i's are dotted, and I know it's actually going to happen.)
No, it's not a book, no I haven't sold a story, or landed an agent.
But it has to do with writing, I'll say this much.
Did you set yourself goals last year?
Did you stick with them?
I had set myself a goal of procrastinating less.
Yeah. Right. I still get distracted way too easily.
Then there was the "Drink less coffee" one.
Uh-huh. *rolls eyes* As if.
I also failed the "Blog every day" goal, so I've set it again this year — but this time it's "Blog at least once a week"
I might be able to stick with that, daily is a bit of a tall order.
So I'll start an "Evil Author Weekly" which may be twice weekly, or more, but mustn't be less.
I'm doing a google gadget too, but that will take a little while.
I actually have two blogs. This one, which is dedicated to writing, and my other, more personal one.
I've slacked on that one too, but that's where you find any book reviews I've done. (http://www.thinkstokeep.com)
Occasionally I cross pollinate between the two. Sorry. I'll try not to deceive anyone reading both blogs.
Most people won't want to know about the more personal one, which is why I've split it off. This blog, www.evilauthor.com, is and will stay as my writing blog.
What I do plan to post here is this:
- Writing Contests
- Agent News
- Industry News
- Writing Software / Gadget reviews
- Writing tidbits
- Writing advice
- Writing prompts
Stuff like that.
I hope those who pop in to read will enjoy it.
So off I go… researching ereaders.
Have a great new year!
