So I know allot of YOU knew this…but when I was watching a Sean Paul video today I realized that I’m not entirely too old to fulfill some of my dreams and goals. ๐ Yay!!!
Lots of you will be happy to know I’m getting serious about writing again. You might have seen this coming. You probably are going “yeah you said this last Nov when you were going to do NaNo and didn’t.” Yeah ok…so I said it once before. But I’ve put alot of thought into what I would like to do and some of the goals I want to accomplish. Writing a book is among them. When I look at my list of goals almost all of them tie into writing. I’ll give you an example:
- Look good/ loose some weight- so when my picture is taken for my book cover I look hot and when I attend conferences to talk about my book I look good.
- Be an amateur model – see above – they don’t call it self-marketing for nothing
- Write a book – self explanatory
- Be a speaker at conferences – talking about my book
See…they almost all tie into the book. ๐ I also realized today while I was doing some researching that when my mind was engaged in doing that…I wasn’t tired and I didn’t have a headache nor was I depressed. I also really like getting feedback on my work so I think getting one or two people whom I trust to comment on what I’m writing will help motivation. ๐
So tonight, I caught up on allot of my writing blog feeds I got away from. I looked into joining RWA again and finding out about the local RWA chapter and when they meet. I looked up several of theauthorss and their websites I liked for inspiration and I desperately want to be listed here! I watched a new TV series that is urban fantasy to delve into my genre. And I thought about the plot line of the book I have in mind that I’ve already started on.
(Kimi fact 243 – I won 2nd place in a RWA contest when I was 17. I should have kept the “award” so I could list it in my credits)
Now…on a similar note check out what my friend Lexa pointed me out and I’ve joined. Feel free to friend me. My nick is KimiDrms.
PaperBackSwap.com – How does this club work?
When another member requests one of your books, you mail it to them. Yes, you pay for the postage. But then another member returns the favor when you request a book from them and they mail it to you. And that way the books are always free because we are all trading books with club members!
Once you have registered, simply list your paperback books that you would like to share with other Club Members. Once you have listed at least 9 of your books, we will give you 3 book credits to get you started trading books with other club members. However, the more books you post, the more likely you are to receive requests. And that means more books for you. So post as many books as you can!
