My Author To-Do ListPosted in My Journey 2009 on December 31, 2008 by Melinda Curtis It's time for a New Year's Resolution - figure out where my writing style/voice fits, where I'll be happy writing and jump start this stall. On my to-do list for 2009: Read-read-read: everything from different Harlequin lines to single title. If I can't get past the first chapter, the line isn't right for me. Review: what's selling. Write: try with Superromance again (maybe the stories weren't right for the new senior ed). Critique: consider joining a critique group to keep me honest/writing/focused. Opinions: collect as many as possible in terms of possibilities - lines, houses, editors. Do I have an easy year ahead of me? No. But I can't walk away from the writing, even if I end up only writing for me. As Garth Brook says: You've got to be tough when consumed by desire. It's not enough just to stand outside the fire.
