I’m gonna be a fiction writer!

10 December 2006 8 Comments

With apologies and thanks to Jen Leo’s inspiring I Wanna Be A Travel Writer blog, I’m starting this new blog today to make good the promise I’ve made to myself: I will be a fiction writer. With 2007 looming round the corner, I’m ready to boldly and loudly and publicly make my Fiction Writing New Year’s Resolutions:

  • I’ll publish five short stories in magazines before the end of 2007
  • I’ll enter 20 short story writing contests (and hopefully win one!)
  • I’ll complete a draft of my first novel during 2007

This blog will help me track my progress, work out my problems and give me some motivation to make these resolutions real. You’re welcome to leave comments, just make them supportive, please :-) Or I’ll have to write a really miserable story about you.
