Greetings and salutations!
Lynda Hilburn made a very interesting post over on her blog. The theme:
The Introverted Writer. From the points she made I've determined I'm an introvert. *grins* Well, this is something I've always know, but many people refuse to believe I'm shy! I'm terrible at networking - in real life and online.
Shock horror!
After all, a writer's life is partly promotion. How can you be successful if you cannot promote efficiently? Fortunately help is at hand. There are numerous workshops, articles and other authors to share the woes with. One of my career goals is to achieve better promotion for myself by the end of the year.
Which brings me to the second issue in today's blog post. Career planning. *takes another huge deep breath* Something else I've been extremely slack with. Yep, I'm a lazy planning when it comes to my writing. Very strange. In other areas I am meticulously organized. The lovely Jaci Burton has been giving a workshop over on the
Romance Divas forum all this week, and some sound advice she has given.
Sooo, Scarlett's career goals for the year:
1) Finish full length urban romance Shadows by the end of the year.
2) Start planning next full length novel.
3) Start querying agents.
Check back in December to see if the career goals have stayed on track!
And finally to The Tudors. Not the tv show (although that held me enthralled for an entire two weeks over the Christmas period). There are a lot of period movies/books being released on the Tudor period of history. This is something that has always fascinated me.
We've had The Tudors tv show, Elizabeth the Golden Age, and upcoming is The Other Boleyn girl. It's wonderful to see such a vibrate age brought to life on screen.
