Ink Links Roundup

We three Inkettes met up on the first of the year, thanks to the wonders of the internet. It was a wonderful way to start the year! So we’ve decided to implement a few changes to improve and streamline Anxiety Ink’s online presence. Ideally, these changes have the wonderful added benefit of allowing us more time, space, and energy to focus on what really matters: writing.

These posts are the first change you might be seeing. We’re constantly on the lookout for links and articles that are writing- or book-relatedi n some way. Until now, we’ve posted them on social media. But the focus on finding links has distracted us from engaging  with them and having the discussion we initially imagined.

Which brings us to this post. Rather than the daily links, we’ll bring you our favorites in this Tuesday series.

As I am the host of these posts for the month, I’m starting with mine: all of Tor.com’s short fiction for last year.

Because who ever grows out of the thrill and excitement of getting something for free? Let alone stories this amazing. And it might just be a life goal of mine to see my name on that list some year . . .

About this article on 17 New Year’s resolutions for writers, Kate has this to say:

I really relate to a lot of these resolutions. It’s difficult to do them all, but I went through and found the ones that most line up with what I regret about last year and what I want to improve upon in 2017. Key standouts for me were: 1 Measure activity, not results; 8 Rewrite until it hurts; and 11 Fast from social media.

Elisa found a great article: seven elements broken down to help you write the strongest story possible. It has some wonderful questions to help you examine and improve your story, as well as a number of links to various resources to help in more depth.

And this article: One Goal to be a Brilliant, Accomplished Writer.

It’s not enough to just make goals, you have to ensure they’re measurable and achievable.

Happy reading! Did you find any good takeaways? Come back and let us know what you think!
