anthologies anthology series authors fae world faeries fairies fairy stories imagine create write melusine muse press short stories stories story competition writers writing friday january 1 2016 2016 planning for the year ahead on new year s day i like to create a long list of things i want to achieve for the year ahead although this is a writing themed blog not all of these goals will be writing related here is my list of goals 1 finish my novel ink and complete several rounds of editing and revising on it it needs to be ready for publication sometime within 2016 and that includes having an isbn a cover and formatting for it whether the extra stuff is done by me or i pay to have someone else do it 2 complete edit and publish at least two of the novellas i began during this year s nanowrimo the ones that are set in the same world as ink 3 begin the sequel to ink write at least 3 chapters of the novel before 2016 ends 4 begin writing the first of the series of nine novels for the daughters of poseidon series maybe use this book as my nanowrimo novel to write this year 5 do some more work on my middle grade book the day my shadow tried to kill me i need to make some changes to the plot and get writing on it again i wrote the original draft for a chaboocha challenge but i m beginning it almost from scratch this time because of the changes that need to be made so maybe use it as the book to write during this year s chapter book challenge 6 spend more time writing don t let a day slip by without spending at least 30 minutes writing on most days during the work week spend more time though although a large part of my day is taken up transporting the kids to and from school and making meals etc i can still manage to treat my writing as a part time job by committing at least 10 hours a week to writing and 5 hours a week to promoting marketing networking 7 finish preparing my collection mermaid s muse for publication make sure it is ready and published in early 2016 8 work on perfecting the 28 day fitness challenge so i can get it published finish creating the accompanying food and fitness journal things i still need to do before finalizing the book alter some of the steps in the challenge and rearrange the formatting take photos of the different exercises being performed for instructional purposes 9 work on my own health this year steps to take step up my exercise routine try not to do as much as i used to do but don t do as little as i am currently doing find a middle ground eat healthier lose the pounds i put back on this year visit the doctor and find out what other tests can be done to find the reason for my health issues keep trying to find a way to cure my chronic pain caused by plantar fasciitis 10 spend more time doing silly and fun stuff with the kids these are the kinds of activities that will build memories for them 11 start swimming again and while i m at it teach my kids to swim i can teach them more than they are learning in the few classes they get every other year at school anyway help isabella get to a skill level that will make it possible for me to then teach her how to swim in a monofin which will help her on her way to her goal of becoming a professional mermaid someday 12 perfect my picture book the one that came to me while i grieved over the loss of my cat pagan i love this book and i think it needs to be out in the world for others to read perfect it and either send it out to get an agent publisher or find an amazing illustrator willing to illustrate it and save up to pay for it to get done well 13 publish more books through melusine muse press not just anthologies and not just my own books get more editing jobs more book cover jobs and formatting jobs to help pay for publication of books publish another teapot tales anthology and another superhero tales anthology likewise publish another anthology in the kids chronicles series of anthologies through your kids creations 14 increase promotion for the fae world anthology series and take in more submissions for it this will be an amazing anthology series when it is completed but it will never be completed without word getting out about it it needs submissions to make it spectacular especially as this is one anthology series that will be choosier about what gets chosen to publish 15 write more on my blogs spend time writing a post on at least one of your blog s every week 16 work more on creating book covers and improving your skill at doing so have more sales on fairy magic photos in order to get more practice at photo manipulating by creating fairy photo images for customers 17 find out everything you need to know to get your kickstarter campaign for the resin toy figures of the superherp tales superheroes off the ground find a 3d artist find a manufacturer get the total cost worked out find someone to design the video and get this campaign going children need these female superhero toys so get to it tweet posted by becky fyfe at 3 35 pm no comments labels 2016 author books goals imagine create write planning publishing rebecca fyfe resolutions writing advice for 2016 happy new year my 2016 advice for you don t let yourself have any regrets by the time 2016 ends travel somewhere new if you can afford it go somewhere you ve never been before somewhere where the culture is different from yours and the world is more colourful if you can t afford that kind of trip go somewhere local that you ve never been before find out more about the special beauty that your own town or city displays learn something new you are never too old to learn a new skill or try a new hobby learn how to do something you have never done before you might find out you enjoy it appreciate your loved ones and let them know they are loved not just by your words but by your actions do something caring for someone you love spend more time giving out hugs this year live in love instead of in fear do something kind for a stranger stop making decisions based on the fear of what might happen and start basing your life on love and service to others remember that the kindness you send out into the world will always find its way back to you do something good for the planet go out and spend some time cleaning up litter in your neighbourhood or at the beach give to a charity that aids the environment spend more time walking instead of driving places find a way that you can help fight climate change and then do it spend some time at the ocean if you can swim go for a swim in the waves if you can t swim just sit on the warm sand and watch the waves crashing against the shore trust me it s therapeutic spend more time in nature this world we live in is a beautiful place full of its own special magic take time to appreciate the beauty all around you learn to love yourself this might possibly be the most difficult challenge any of us will face but it s one of the most important ones your body is not you your appearance does not define who you are you have a soul a spirit a mind and that part of you that hidden part is who you are don t let others who can t see that part of you define you you know who you are you know your strengths and your flaws and deep down you know you are worthy of love embrace this take care of your body while it is only the vessel that carries your soul it can get sick and it can break down much earlier in life if it is not taken care of properly so only put food into it that strengthens it and nourishes it and make sure to exercise your body on a regular basis pursue your dreams don t let society tell you what dreams you should and shouldn t have if your dreams don t hurt anyone else then by all means go after them start by taking small steps towards them and build from there create something whether it s art crafts the written word or something else entirely be creative this year it nurtures your soul and sometimes it helps nurture the souls of others too be silly spend some time just being silly let yourself be taken over by a fit of the giggles make corny jokes and laugh a lot laughter improves your quality of life tweet posted by becky fyfe at 4 30 am no comments labels 2016 advice imagine create write life new year no regrets rebecca fyfe thursday december 31 2015 looking back at 2015 sadly all of my 2015 memories are overshadowed by the death of my cat pagan in september pagan and i had a special relationship and i miss him like crazy it means that for me 2015 is a year i d rather forget however in my writing life there were some good things that happened too and so i am making an effort to remember the more positive things that occurred at least in my writing life in 2015 1 i created several new book covers this year including some for me some for others and some for sale and i have been growing in confidence in my ability to create the kinds of book covers that will sell and also growing in my cover creating skills 2 i came up with several picture book ideas and some new drafts of picture books but more importantly i wrote the first draft of a new picture book which i really really love it s become my new baby and i will do whatever it takes to bring this picture book into the world and to make it the best it possibly can be because it means a lot to me 3 i through my your kids creations imprint published another anthology in the kids chronicles series of anthologies the superhero chronicles a collection of superhero stories written illustrated by children and published three more books for children written by my children dark unicorn written by my daughter isabella came out last year and has grown significantly in sales this year a hero s adventure written by my son connor came out in august grabbed by the shadows written by my daughter gabriella came out in october and tiger boy written by my youngest son cameron came out in november children who contributed to the anthology have been very excited about it and very positive about the experience and are pushing me to start taking stories for another anthology i only create these anthologies written and illustrated by kids for the kids so the positive responses i am getting from them makes it worthwhile even though it takes a lot more work than any of the other anthologies the whole point of the kids chronicles series of anthologies is to encourage children to write and to build up their confidence in their story telling abilities so with these goals in mind the anthologies have been a success both isabella and cameron have had really wonderful responses to their books and both of them have gained some real fans of their books kids who can t wait for them to write sequels to their stories 4 through melusine muse press i published two anthologies this year the third volume of teapot tales teapot tales a collection of unusual fairy tales with proceeds that go towards the chapter book challenge chaboocha and the second volume of superhero tales a collection of female superhero stories with proceeds that go towards the charity because i am a girl which helps girls in 3rd world countries 5 i started compiling all of my mermaid stories into one collection and created the book cover for it with some editing and formatting and then sending out to beta readers i might be able to get this collection mermaid s muse out in early 2016 6 while my novel ink was set on the back burner for this year i spent this year s nanowrimo working on a series of novellas that are set in the same world as ink there were seven novels i worked on in total i think three of them will develop into full length novels none of them are complete yet but i found myself getting wrapped up in this fictional world of my creation again and i am really enjoying writing about characters who live in this world these female heroes who are determined to do something good and worthwhile to make this crazy world they live in a better place 7 i did not send out any queries this year which might sound like a failure rather than a success except for the fact that i used this year to work on improving my writing and on improving the stories i have already written i m also not sure i want to send my stories off for someone else to judge and possibly publish because i really like having the creative control over my books the kind of creative control that one can only get through self publishing i have improved in every area of my formatting and publishing skills in the meantime i just haven t fully decided yet which road i will take when it comes to publishing my novels i may in the end decide to go the hybrid route but that hasn t been decided yet 8 i managed to get some wonderful authors many of them well known such as tamora pierce darren shan lee wardlaw wendy orr patti larsen adam wallace and nancy i sanders to guest post on the chapter book challenge last march with only around 300 participants it would have been a simple thing for these very busy authors to turn me down but they didn t and i m such a fan girl the only problem with getting big name authors to guest post during 2015 is figuring out how i am going to top it for 2016 s challenge if any of my friends and followers happen to be friends with j k rowling meg cabot or neil gaiman please put in a good word with them about the chapter book challenge and get them in touch with me 9 i started a group to discuss a plan for something i think would be really great the whole point of the superhero tales anthologies is to increase the amount of female superheroes out there in media for little girls to look up to it doesn t solve the problem of there not being enough merchandise featuring female superheroes though an idea i had for something to crowdfund was to take the characters created by different authors within the anthologies and have them made into action figures and or resin figurines the kind kids can play with the idea is there and so far i have permission to create about 13 of the characters but in order to get started i need to find an artist skilled in creating 3d figures a company that can create these figures in limited runs and somehow get a really compelling video made that will encourage people to contribute to the campaign i need to work out the costs and and it all needs to be affordable so that people won t have to pay much more than what a collectible toy figure would normally cost i have not managed to figure ...
