The Five Year Plan. Alternate Title: Winging It #IWSG
Hey all! I hope your Decembers are off to a good start and that you're feeling the magic of the season. Amid all the festivity, I'm getting the third book in a trilogy (which is actually the first book in the series...more on that next month) ready to relaunch into the world at the end of January. Naturally, my insecurity this month is: "Will I get it all done?"
But I know by now not to waste any time worrying about it. Head down, nose to the grindstone, and all that. So on to the IWSG question of the month:
But I know by now not to waste any time worrying about it. Head down, nose to the grindstone, and all that. So on to the IWSG question of the month:
In terms of your writing career, where do you see yourself five years from now, and what’s your plan to get there?
Here's my deal - I don't make 5-year plans. On this writing thing, I'm happy to go with the flow and see where it takes me. Yeah, I won't be writing any how-to books anytime soon (or ever). But I'm having fun, and that's my main objective. And I'm very, very, very grateful to those writers who've made goals, hit them, and shared their knowledge with the community so that I can at least fake like I know what I'm doing. THANK YOU!

I agree that having fun is important.
Happy IWSG Day!
I think that we each have a way that works for us - pantsing, plotting, goals, or non-goals. If it works for you to be a goal-rebel, then go for it!
COLD ENOUGH? UGH! I am still in this FREEZER ZONE!
Sounds like you're super busy.... Good luck with all of it. Let's chat soon... I moved... AGAIN... the sale the loft went through and I am now living in a high rise, corner unit, 17th floor, SE exposure. Sound familiar? LOl ... no not Lincoln Park, sadly. Still in the south loop, BUT the view is very cool. The east windows face Soldier filed and a the Field Museum and the LAKE.... the south view is unobstructed urban cool... to the west, I see the river. NICE.... Lots of LIGHT. I am loving that aspect...
Hope you're great! HAPPY HOLIDAYS if I don't speak to you soon. I should be in Florida at Christmas until MAY..... I can't wait!
Happy Holidays
