What kind of writer do I want to be?
I am asking myself this question so I can figure out what I want my 2011 Writing Plan to be. My end goal is to be a published writer. I would love to write for TV, but I would also like to write novels and short stories too. I've been looking at Sera Gamble's website, she is someone I admire greatly. I love the Supernatural tv series she writes for, which she has now become the executive producer and showrunner of. She has a great section for Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) in which she answers many of the common questions she has been asked about becoming a writer. (Well worth a read). Reading this, and a recent blog post about why people stop following your blog (apologies I forgot where I saw it and didn't save the link), it's made me think more about my online presence.
I want to promote my writing on this blog, especially as I become a more skill writer (with lots of practice), but I also want to make it interesing and blog things people want to read. I recently read one blogger say they often type blog posts up ahead of time in their Word documents first before posting, and they always have a few ideas for blog posts they jot down before they actually come round to writing their blog posts. They also try to stick to a schedule for their blog posts, as there's nothing worse than a blog that's updated rarely.
With this in mind, these are my 2011 Writing Goals I want to work on this year:

With this in mind, these are my 2011 Writing Goals I want to work on this year:
- Create a blogging schedule, possibly weekly.
- Jot down a few blog post ideas so you have something to blog about when you do sit down to blog.
- Comment on other similar theme blogs to increase your blog readership and make friends with similar interests
- Practice prose fiction writing every day.
- Create Writing Samples to show my work...
- A Short Story
- An Original TV Pilot Script
- A Speculative TV Script of a critically acclaimed TV Series
- A Movie Screenplay (original)
- Create a new website as a Writer to show off my new writing samples
- Practice Writing even more fiction!
