Special Tuesday TGIF (again)!

PB Marathon Update:

Another short post to keep you updated.

Only two days and two picture books left.  I have written 24, plus, this week I did my picture book for 12x12 in 12!  I'm looking forward to a little relaxation in March.  More about my efforts and results next blog!

Keep writing!

Marathon Update:  Just a short post to keep you updated

I am still on track to finish.  I did use both of my remaining rest days this weekend (I was busy), but I only have nine books to write in nine days!  (Actually ten books, because I haven't written my 12x12 book for February yet either...)  Easy!  ;)

Anyway, stay motivated.  Stay focused.  And:

Keep writing!

I'm still doing well on the Picture Book Marathon.  Yesterday was the ninth of the month and I've written eight picture books.  I did use one of my 'rest' days, but I have two left.

As for ideas for the books I'm working on this month, I've been looking back through ideas I have stored in notebooks, on my computer and on my phone and iPod.  However, some of my better ideas (I think) have just come up--sometimes from being around my kids.  So, you've got to keep your eyes and ears open for ideas that may strike you!  And keep something handy for jotting down those ideas.  It doesn't hurt to hang around children either.  :)

I have also been looking at sending out some of my poems to magazines.  I just need to decide which ones and to what magazine(s).  I want to send a few to at least two or three different magazines this month.

Stay motivated.  Stay focused.  And:

Keep writing!

So far so good for me and the Picture Book Marathon.  Yesterday was February 2nd and I have written two picture book manuscripts this month.

It is working to keep me motivated so far as well.  I also joined another marathon of sorts, the 12 x 12 in 2012 challenge.  I wrote my PB manuscript for January, so at the end of the Picture Book Marathon, I should have at least 28 new manuscripts (at least 26 for the PB Marathon and 2 for 12x12in2012) to sort through and work on.

I've been busy with typing notes and manuscripts on my iPod, phone and computer.  I generate a lot of ideas when I'm trying to finish a manuscript.  That's a good thing if I don't get distracted from finishing the idea I'm working on.

Well, that's going to be it for the blog this week, but I hope to have more numbers and motivation for you next week!

Keep writing!

Thanks for stopping by.
