Ever heard of J.K. Konrath? He's making a living at selling e-books (along with some traditional print publishing).
Newbie Writer Resolutions:
~I will start/finish the damn book~I will always have at least three stories on submission, while working on a fourth
~I will attend at least one writer's conference, and introduce myself to agents, editors, and other writers
~I will subscribe to the magazines I submit to
~I will join a critique group. If one doesn't exist, I will start one at the local bookstore or library
~I will finish every story I start
~I will listen to criticism
~I will create/update my website
~I will master the query process and search for an agent
~I'll quit procrastinating in the form of research, outlines, synopses, taking classes, reading how-to books, talking about writing, and actually write something
~I will refuse to get discouraged, because I know JA Konrath wrote 9 novels, received almost 500 rejections, and penned over 1 million words before he sold a thing--and I'm a lot more talented than that guy...
My own resolutions will be focused on my fiction project and podcast THE MASKED MARAUDER MATINEE. You can read the fiction, stay up to date, and follow us here on my MMM blog here and don't forget our facebook page here.
