And the dogs are having none of it. NONE. They do not appreciate the fact that I have shoveled a path for them or have loaded them up with fleecy dog beds and blankets.
In writing related things, I backed Ines Johnson’s Page Turner Planning Kickstarter. The system is a quarterly breakdown of writing, marketing, branding, and business tips that’s delivered on a week-by-week basis. Or rather, it’s a book that you read one section at a time.
While I don’t need much help with the writing—I’ve been doing that—I could stand to pay a little more attention to business and marketing.
I decided to start the system on December 1st rather than January 1st just to get a head start on 2026.
The system is probably geared more to newer writers. One of the first assignments is to write your author bio. Well, I have one of those. Actually? I probably have a dozen.
What I’m going to do with that task is to locate them all, get them into one document, and refine as needed.
When you’re just starting out with a handful of short stories or a single novel, one bio works just fine. After a while, though? I’ve found I need different lengths, anything from 50 to 100 words, or a different slant, such as one for short speculative fiction, one for young adult, and so on.
The other business task is to start looking at branding. I’m giving that a bit of a side-eye, but it’s something I can and should do.
I’ll let you know how it all goes next week.
