Road to Publication: Revving Up for the New Year

Boy-o-boy, it’s hard to believe that January 2014 is almost over! I had a tough beginning to the new year with a bad cold that lasted two weeks. I rarely get sick, and if I do, I’m usually over it in a day or two. But this one hit me hard. I know many people have suffered or are suffering from a cold or the flu. I hope you all feel better soon!

I haven’t been completely idle, though. I’ve been writing—mostly revisiting and rewriting some older stories. And I’ve been submitting to a few agents and publishers. I also have some business ideas on the back burner, which I want to start pursuing ASAP.

I’m looking at joining this year’s A-to-Z Blog Challenge in which you blog every day in April except Saturdays and Sundays. Each blog subject should begin with a letter of the alphabet, consecutively following the alphabet from A to Z. For instance, your first blog might be about Apples. For the next one you might ponder the meditative benefits of Basket weaving. And so on. Experienced A-to-Z bloggers suggest you choose a theme for the challenge, and then come up with your daily topics before the challenge begins. If any of you have participated before, I’d love to hear what your experience was like. Who’s tackling the challenge this year?
