I'm glad you're 3 months behind on Writing Magazine as I have a stack of magazines (and books) to read and it makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one. No, I'm not going to write short stories this year, unless I feel the urge. I have learnt a lot, but it has deflected my attention from the things I really enjoy writing - novels. I was thinking of entering my first novel in a competition soon (I entered it in one last year with no success) but when I went back to look at it, I can see it needs way too much work. I suppose I can see that because of my writing challenge for this year, but it's a bit sad! However, my second one has been in planning since April, so I'm raring to get on with that. What have you done with your first novel? Were you just cutting your teeth on it, or are you sending it out/self publishing? Happy New Year to you, too xAbigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10871179140755241010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867783804873576106.post-71465425224592943362013-12-30T04:12:55.530-08:002013-12-30T04:12:55.530-08:00Hi Abigail, just wanted to say that I found your b...Hi Abigail, just wanted to say that I found your blog through Writing Magazine (I'm running about 3 months behind the rest of life, but that's normal at this time of year, right?!) and really enjoy what I've read so far; so much so, I'm following you now (eek - I mean your blog, of course,otherwise it sounds like I'm a scary stalker!). I'm a fellow writer, WM subscriber, and blogger (who really needs to get her blogging behind in gear!) and wanted to say well done for keeping to your goal of a monthly short story submitted! Will you do it again this coming year? I'm deep into writing my second novel and struggle to juggle writing other things, but at this time every year I always think of writing goals I'd like to stick to... Hope you had a good Christmas, and Happy New Year. All the best, Deb xDeb's Pen Pothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07281756922516478468noreply@blogger.com
