HOW TIME FLIES

Oh, my goodness, I can't believe that it has been so long since I blogged!! Not good and I won't make excuses. Today I heard an author being interviewed on television. When asked about his publishing contract, he mentioned that the publisher gave him two years to write the book. His reply to that was, "Oh, no, write the contract so that I have to write fifteen pages every two weeks and it will actually happen." I need someone like that to keep tabs on me, apparently.

But, it's a good idea when you are writing a book to make a schedule. The same goes for your publishing time line. Part of your business plan needs to include dates for the completion of projects and goals or life just gets in the way. So often I have just gone off to play with my grandchildren rather than sit down to write and yet when I do sit down to write, the words just flow. What is my problem?

I need some of you out there to be my cattle prods - give me a nudge. Go to our website at www.inktreemarketing.com, click Contact Us and send me an email. Write "Where is today's blog?" in the subject line and also let me know if you have any publishing questions that you would like addressed.
