And though I missed you all. I sure do wish I could have stayed on vacation forever! (I will have a picture post in the near future after I can unload my camera!) It was lovely to have two weeks to myself to sleep and read and relax. I had a tough spring and it was just what I needed to recharge and renew. Now I’m back and ready to go! I have edits to dig in to, crit partners to critique, query letters to write. I’m hoping to get the WIP polished enough to start querying this fall, so that means I need to get working. Now.
And I’ll still be blogging of course!
To be honest, I’m having a bit of a quandary with the blog – I recently read a post that said writers shouldn’t just blog about writing, and I’ve kind of been thinking that myself. I don’t really feel like I have much to add to all of the advice and comments out there on how to get published. And really, though I know you guys are great and supportive, I’m sure there are only so many posts on my process you can stand. 😛
So I’m thinking about starting a new series on the blog soon…and I hope you will all like it. I have a few more things to line up, but once I do, expect fun things 🙂 (Ok, not *that* fun, there won’t be chocolate involved or anything) And it’ll still be writing related. Let’s be honest, my life is pretty boring and I don’t have much else to talk about. But I’m hoping to give it a new twist.
And of course I want to address anything you guys might be interested in. As well as open up the blog to guest posts from all of you. This community is such a wealth of information that I want to share as much as possible! Just shoot me an email or post a comment if you’d like to guest post in the future.
So tell me…what do *you* want to talk about?
I’m so glad you’re back!! I’ve missed you and our writing camaraderie. I was just thinking of bugging you to see if you had pages for me 🙂
I’ve missed you too! And yes! I will have pages for you soon!
Welcome back! Looking forward to your new series! Personally, I love blogs that don’t just focus on writing!
Thanks Laura! Hopefully the new series will be interesting to folks, though I’m a little nervous about it 🙂
If I had post suggestions I would be hoarding them for myself 😉  I’m kind of at the same point, trying to figure out what to talk about on my blog.  I like doing Friday recommendations.  I think ideally in addition I’d have one post a week on something writing-related and one on something random.  But writing stuff doesn’t have to be just advice–it can be “this is what I’d like to see in a book” or “this is an idea I have for a story that I will probably never have time to write” or “this is a scene I want to write that doesn’t fit in any book.”
Ha! I never realized how hard it was to keep a blog fresh. But I do love your Friday recommendations – SO helpful! And I think you’re right – I just need to look for ways to keep the writing posts fresh and not repeat all of the info already out there.
Good! I’m glad the recommendations are useful. They tend to get the least comments, so I don’t always know, but I figure that’s because they aren’t really meant for discussion so much as general information.
