Happy New Year!

I can't believe 2008 is almost over and I really can't believe I survived it! Been a crazy year, but I'm still here. :-)

As a gift to my writing friends, I've compiled an eBook of my "best of" tips, taken from Writers Nibs: Dip into the Well, a feature on my website. I've been posting tips, sort of on a schedule, since 2006, but I've never gone back and looked at them. So this was a looking back exercise for me, too. You can download the free eBook on my website and I hope it will give you a boost to head into 2009 with more determination to succeed at your writing goals. ;-)

You can find some other, cool writing related free stuff here. I printed out the free calendar to use in 2009. I like to have a calendar on my desktop, where I can make quick notes or check dates. It's a mini-diary for me as I pass through the year. I also like the DRAW tips. I think you have to sign up to get those by email, but some great tips for jump starting the writing.

I've also been hanging around with Twitter Moms that Writer. It's a diverse group, but most interesting. Finding the right kind of support for your writing efforts can be a challenge, but with the internet, it is possible. :-)

I hope that your new year brings you the realization of your writing dreams and much happiness!
Perilously yours,
Pauline
