Wrapping up March Madness and Getting Ready for April #wipmadness
REWRITING- HAPPY MEDIUM from scratch. yes. not done though, because the from scratch also became re plotting, revisioning some of the characters, the town, the history, so very much still in the notebook and research stage again.
BLOGGING
-carry on with Marvelous Middle Grade Monday's. Reading middle grade novels and writing posts to go up every monday. I'd like to try and get ahead of the game and have posts ready to go one or two weeks in advance. Yes on carrying on with MMGM's, getting lots of reading done. No on the 2-3 weeks in advance. Sunday before the post seems to be my go to day and that totally works for me!
-carry on reading and commenting on the blogs I follow. Up the time to one hour per day. I tried half hour and that was just not enough time Yep and sometimes, it is two hours--I know that is a lot of time, but it is part of my writing and blogging life!
-start new feature called YA ROUNDTABLE. Inspired by a group of writer friends I lunch with. We talk books, exchange books. I can't go as often but I can still share the books I would tell them about if I could go. When possible we'd try to get the round table at one of the restaurants we go to. Most of the ladies I hang with a YA writers (mix of published and not). Hence...YA ROUNDTABLE for a feature. Yes, got post one up and running last week (Just Deb: YA Roundtable-13 to Life by Shannon Delany and Mighty Fine Use of Backstory) and have the ideas and books for the next few.
-get to scheduling more OH MG YA CANADA posts for March and April in preparation for my OH MG YA CANADA week long reading challenge, Just Deb: Oh MG/YA Canada Mini Reading Challenge-Sunday April 29- Sunday May 6, 2012 . Love for you to check it out, sign up? know of an author (Canadian) who might like to be featured? This will be an April Goal as well, I do have some blog guest posters and features lined up already but need to grow those participating in the reading week.
-get blog re-designed in terms of content and for gorsh durn sakes get tags organized and consistent (I mean really!) AND...this has been moved to April!
READING
-ARC's get caught up with the back log, especially NET GALLEY.the backlog mostly done-now am building a new to read list
-books authors provided for review (have a couple) yep yep yep
Realistically some of this will spill into April, but I shooting for the stars so I can land on the moon! SO, I landed on the moon in March, heading for the stars in April!

Just returned to the blogosphere and started with yours. Wow! I'm impressed with your commitments and ideas for March and April. I will be checking in to watch your progress. I find it inspiring to find another writer who is open and honest about the path to writing success. It's such an individual journey yet we find support and inspiration from others that are learning and growing.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Pam! Thanks on the commitments and you are so so right on the journey being individual-how we split up the day, the week, the month, how we read write and blog. That why it is so great to have support and inspiration from others...er, which is kind of what you said!
