Revising Your Writing Plan

AKA Finding What Works For You

When I started this project in July 2009, the goal was to post on Tuesday and Thursday of every week. That worked for about 8 months. Now it’s time to revise that plan.

good advice

The new goal is two posts a week, regardless of date.

A subtle yet important difference for me. It relieves the pressure and guilt, and I’m still writing two posts a week. It also means the new two post goal is a minimum, unlike the maximum it used to be.

I have pages of notes in my WritShel blank book that I will make into posts. I have books on my shelves that I have read that I will review as posts. I still have a lot to do with this project and revising my plan will help me achieve that.

There are many ways to do many things, especially when it comes to writing. Having observed myself over the past eight months, I have a much better sense of how I can make this website what I want it to be: a resource for writers featuring original art and posts that take less than 3 minutes to read.

I’ll also be investigating an email opt-in for those who would find it easier to have my posts delivered to their in-box. I do this with several writing/agent blogs and find it very convenient.

Thank you for visiting and reading and I hope you found some useful information. I look forward to continuing this project with my revised writing plan, knowing it may face another revision eight months from now. Such is the writing life.
