Last week, my revisions for Missing became analytical, thanks to the AutoCrit software. I’m also getting back to blogging my novella after a long absence. And I have some exciting personal news to share with you. So, stay tuned for more details coming up in the show.

Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

  • Exciting news that’s both personal and has an impact on my publishing schedule.
  • An update on my revisions on tenses and dialogue using AutoCrit.
  • I share a series of great blog posts on writing dialogue from the blog of an editor (you can find these below).
  • The reason why I’m getting back to blogging my novella.
  • And I share my decision on using professional beta readers.

Thanks for listening!

BTS017, I'm Sharing My Business and Writing Goals With You for the Next Quarter

Send us a text

I think accountability is a beautiful thing. And I realise that’s a super nerdy thing to say. So, what do I mean by accountability? Basically, I’m referring to accountability in terms of setting and striving towards writing goals. In this episode, I’m going to share with you my business and writing goals for the next quarter. As you can expect, I’m going to share an update on my successes and failures from the first quarter of 2019.

And I’m going to discuss a new writing-related tool that I’m using to revise Missing. That tool is new to me but has been around for a while. This tool has evolved over time. As I’m using this tool, I’m watching the help videos, and I’ve noticed the version in the videos is slightly different from the version I’m currently using. It’s good to see the product has evolved over time, which is what you want when purchasing a piece of software.

It appears that I have a lot of tasks to complete over the next quarter. However, many of these tasks are larger goals broken down into tiny steps just to make things a little easier for me.
