The Writerly Resolutions Tag!

 

I saw this on one of the blogs I follow, Of Blades and Thorns , and even though I wasn't tagged, I thought it would be great fun!! So without further ado: Let the Writerly Resolution Blog Tag begin! (or continue...)

Rules:

• Include the official Writerly Resolutions banner in your post.
• Link back to the person or persons who tagged you. If you weren't tagged, but would still like to be a part of the fun, link back to the website you found the tag on. 
• Tag at least five bloggers who are also writers. You can tag as many as you would like!
• Ask them five new questions about their writing goals. 

Questions:

1. Looking back, how has my writing changed over the course of last year? Am I satisfied with my growth, or am I looking to evolve more over this year?

Goodness, how can I explain how much I have grown and changed over this past year? I suppose I've said much of this already in previous posts, but my writing life was really changed by the Crazy Writing Week. Since then, I've matured even more - starting this blog, beginning and working pretty consistently on two books, and being motivated to write. Of course, there is always more to learn. I have a feeling that I am never going to be quite satisfied with what I have completed!

      2. What needs the most change and thereby the most attention?

          Hmm, I am tempted to say all of it. But if I had to pick two areas (who can pick just one, anyway?), I would like to work on consistency and character development. 

      3. How will I be focusing more on these aspects of my writing this year? 

         Focusing on consistency, I need to be at least touching my writing more often than I do. Focusing on character development, I need to work on making sure my characters' different voices really come        through in my work. 

     4. What impact do I want my actions to have upon the aforementioned aspects? 

         I think that by focusing on these, I will be able to write with a lot more efficiency, and be able to get my ideas out of my head and onto paper faster - before I forget them. 

     5.  Because all these questions sound like something out of a writing self-help book, it's time for a fun            one! What plot trope, character, theme, idea, etc., would I like to write about this year?

          Hmm... I would love to finish the first draft of at least one of my novels, but after that, I would like to write a book kinda along the lines of Margaret Peterson Haddix's series, The Shadow Children -                something to do with illegal children or a storyline like that.
