Plans for 2011

With little more than twenty-four hours left of the year 2010, I’ve given a lot of thought to what’s in store for 2011.

As far as this blog is concerned, my plan is to blog twice a week. Yes, it’s aggressive but I know it’s necessary to build my online presence especially since my only online presence is from my Armageddon post from last January (see here). So to blog twice a week requires a little more structure and strategy. Here’s how this looks. Tuesdays will focus on writing. Tips I’ve picked up, resources, progress, thoughts on certain aspects of writing, etc. On Thursdays, my focus will be on topic which will be centered on science fiction or horror. Posts on trends, book and movie reviews, and ideas. Really just a chance to devote some time to my favorite genres.

As for my goals for 2011 as it relates to writing, I want to write another novel. I shelved my first but have learned so much about the writing process and well as the business of writing. The experience was valuable and don’t I wasted anything writing that first novel. If anything, I have a better strategy and direction on how the novel process can and will work for me. Right now, I’m reading Donald Mass’ Writing the Breakout Novel, and I have picked up solid information that will definitely carry over to my next project.

What are your writing plans for 2011?

Best of luck to a successful year of writing.

Cheers,

Chris
