Happy New Year, everyone!
Or maybe I’m just in a good mood because my husband bought me a parasol for Christmas.
Have you made any plans for 2017?
We have.
Stephanie, Shannon, and I had a fabulous chat over Google Hangouts a few weeks ago where we talked about the results from the GTW survey and made plans for the blog. Have we got a year in store for you!
● We’re going to try blogging on the same topic, from different perspectives. Steph will give an instructional approach, I will give examples of what works, what doesn’t work, and how I go about fixing things, and Shan will get you guys writing with prompts and questions to ponder.
● We’re going to do some series on editing, the business of publishing, share our stories of how we all got published, and drafting, to name a few.
● There will be more word wars.
● We will have more bonus material, which will consist of printables, templates, and (one of my favorites) lists!
● We’re going to try some panels in which you can ask us questions and we will all answer, so you can see three different (or similar) approaches, depending on the question.
● And . . .
So, to recap, for 2017 on the Go Teen Writers blog you will see a three different perspectives on related topics; panel discussions; a series on the business side of being an author; our faces talking to you; and likely more of the parasol.
Happy 2017, teen writers! It’s going to be fabulous.
