Ten Things for Writers to Do for the New Year
Get to know your characters better by creating a character palette or making up some character trading cards.
Try a new/free online writing service like Hiveword (see my write-up on it here.)
For your next book writing project make up a novel notebook.
Outline your next novel.
Take the paranormal romance novelist's test.
Buff and polish up your queries (and learn what you shouldn't be sending out.)
Create a submissions log book and hunt for some new markets (for a nice variety I recommend the excellent and regularly updated listings over at Ralan.com.) Before you jump on any sub op, however, be sure to read the fine print.
Reinvent something that bugs you (like I did with the BookLoop.)
Unclutter or make some changes to your writing space.
Be valiant.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the links I will check them out because my characters do need a lot of work .
This is helpful but writing essays with different and unique content will be the biggest spark of all online reader's eyes. Thanks for sharing this article of yours.
