Lots of Work And A Glimpse of The Future
April 15th 2010 12:51
This week is packed full of end-of-term work, trying to work on my novel, working handing out flyers for a few bucks, and of course, huge things in the works regarding this blog and my personal website. It's been a hard week, and I haven't gotten half the things on my to do list done. But I am proud of what I've accomplished, and I'm proud of what I'm going to be doing with this blog in the very near future.
Most of you are aware that next month I'm going to be doing a Dear Diary workshop here at the blog. This involves top secret planning, not only for what I'm going to be doing here, but what I'm going to be doing over on the Wriye boards. The lovely Erin, who not only runs Wriye but also Augno and a number of other writerly efforts, agreed to let me do this workshop in January.
I've been pumped ever since-preparing blog entries and forum posts, figuring out exactly what I'm trying to do with this workshop, outlining the workshop, and sending on information. Things have stalled thanks to a lot of homework and a busy life, but I'm really happy with where I am, and I'm confident that this workshop will be useful. I'd like to take this time to announce some other plans...
About three weeks ago I was contacted by someone who wants me to host a giveaway of six books on this blog. I can't begin to explain what an amazing moment it was for me to read his email. Somebody actually wanted to give away their books on my blog? It's still an amazing thought, and it gives me faith that there are people reading, and that I've gotten somebody's attention.
The giveaway of these six books will be happening towards the end of this month. Keep reading to find out more, and to get a chance to win the books.
The other thing that I'd like to mention today is my personal website. I decided, rather than create a website solely for Fictional Worlds, to create a personal website. This will be my author website when I someday get published by the Great Gods of Print Books, and consists of a more personal blog, information about me, information about the blog, and best of links for Fictional Worlds. I'm looking into also creating a forum there for readers who are interested in the workshops, and I'm starting work on a newsletter.
There are a lot of big projects in the works for me right now, so posting might be a bit sparse until it's giveaway time. Bear with me folks. I do love you, but I've got a lot on my plate.

I'm very excited for the giveaway
The newsletter is little more than a basic idea right now, but I'm excited for that too. Bogged down in school work right now though.
