Without further ado

Sunday, 20 September 2009, 9:58 | Category : Blog schedule, On managing time

So, obviously, I have not really been keeping up with this blog. I have all the usual excuses: work, life, writing my WIP got in the way. But in today’s world, that really doesn’t cut it. I have to blog to connect with potential readers, fellow writers, and possibly agents and publishers.

I have always been a listmaker, so I’ve come up with a list of things to blog about on certain days (a schedule, if you will) to keep me motivated. So, without further ado:

  • Muse Mondays: I’ll write a bit about what I’m currently working on, my goals for the week, and what I’ve accomplished since the last post.
  • Transit Tuesdays: I do the majority of my reading on the bus to and from work, waiting in line (it’s really fabulous to “escape” from the post office with a book or magazine), or on my lunch break. So I’ll post about what I’m reading and what I think of it.
  • Wayback Wednesdays: I think it’s important for YA writers to be able to connect with their youth, to have the images, feelings, and experience of high school/junior high/childhood fresh in their minds. On Wednesdays, I’ll write about something that reminds me of my youth, whether it’s a book, music video, TV show, movie, or anything else.
  • Themeless Thursdays: I can’t think of a theme for Thursdays! Any suggestions? I’ll probably just end up writing about what I’m writing. How very meta.
  • Friday Five: Courtesy of friday5.org, I’ll post a list of whatever five things they think up for the week. A fun little send-off for the weekend, which is when I do the majority of my writing (and cooking and cleaning and socializing…).

There you have it. Coming soon to a theater near you!
