The @12books12months twitterfeed is a terrifying and time consuming place. I follow authors, agents, publishers and book bloggers from all over the world and am constantly bombarded with links to articles about writing, publishing and blogging. Interesting, but overwhelming.
This evening I’ve read a few that stood out, so I thought I would link them.
10 Ways to Tell You Have Author Potential is fairly self explanatory title. I seem to tick some, but not all of the boxes.
How to Become A Better Writer is one of many posts that appear almost daily on this theme, and covers the bases as well as any.
The Influence of Anxiety is the most interesting of the three, because rather than give hints and tips on what we ought to be doing it focuses on what a lot of authors actually do, including taking ages over one tiny bit of writing, procrastinating, and comparing oneself to everyone else and coming up short (easier than ever before thanks to twitter, facebook and blogging).
Meanwhile, another #WIP
April 28th
Festival of Floralia begins today. We’re having more games in the Circus Maximus to celebrate, at which the people will be showered with beans. My idea. It’ll be really funny to watch, but also they won’t mind, because they’re being given free food. Brilliant.
