My Writing Plans for 2011
Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed the holidays.
I'd imagined myself starting 2011 filled with energy and enthusiasm, but the New Year arrived with a sniffle. The joke was on me.
We had plans to visit family in Quebec and Eastern Ontario over the New Year's weekend, so when I woke up on New Year's Eve slightly congested and with a sore throat, I thought, "Uh-oh." Since I wasn't feeling too bad, we went ahead with our visit. Somehow my body managed to hold off the raging head cold until Monday.
Now that I'm starting to feel better, what are my writing plans for 2011?
At this point in time, only two projects are definitely on my "to-write" list: the Rymellan series and a story for Torquere Press's Sapphic Signs line (more details later).
Having said that, I hope to write more in 2011 than I did in 2010. I just haven't settled on what to add to my list. I do know that I'd like to focus on short stories and novellas. Since I don't write a story with a set length in mind, I might end up writing a novel anyway, but my preference will be to work on projects that I expect to come in under 50K words.
I see myself publishing only one print book in 2011: Rymellan 2, which should be available in February. Unless I inadvertently write a novel, anything else I publish will go to digital format only.
I have lots of ideas swirling around in my head. Some might materialize into stories; others might not work out. There will be a few false starts, so I'll only update the WIP page with projects I'm confident about. At times it will look as if I'm only writing the Rymellan series, when I'm actually writing more than that.
Here's to producing engaging stories in 2011!
On a completely different topic, I've done several blog interviews over the past couple of months, with more to come. To keep track of them, I've added an Interviews page to the site. The most recent interview is at Kindle Author.
Have a great weekend! (I hope to spend mine less congested!)
