I know what I want and I go for it until it makes no sense to continue. If I did have to make resolutions, it would be to market less and write and read more. I still have BW on my calendar. Hopefully things will calm down in the coming week(s) and I can jump back on to it. Now if I could only find time to write!<br /><br />Happy New Year, my friend!Nancy Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735642863696266005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-59055284663082534642013-01-02T16:12:10.924-05:002013-01-02T16:12:10.924-05:00Happy New Year!

I bet 2013 is a big year for you, Jeff.<br /><br />Improvement comes from writing new words, so you're making progress on that, too. I like some of the writing blogs better than some of the books: storyfix, the other side of the story, the character therapist, alicia rasley's writing corner.<br /><br />Good luck in 2013!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978176432357891953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-29631436168363381272013-01-01T20:20:10.171-05:002013-01-01T20:20:10.171-05:00Author Brandon Sanderson said in a lecture once th...Author Brandon Sanderson said in a lecture once that when he gets an idea--that initially is just that, an idea--he puts it in a folder. Things will come to him (maybe character, plot, or milieu) that he thinks would fit and he adds those to his folder. Only when he has enough to really do something with it (he write epic fantasy--and I mean EPIC) does he begin to write. <br /><br />I'm so not in his class. lol<br /><br />Happy New Year!Donna K.

That might actually have more appeal right now just given the subject matter. Either way, you're crazy talented and it's only a matter of time until someone snatches you up! <br /><br />Happy New Year!Lisa Reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899014095250160853noreply@blogger.com
