What’s In Store for 2012

Posted by annastan on January 2nd, 2012. Filed under: Announcements.

I hope 2012 is treating you well so far. I have some exciting things planned for the blog this year. Here’s what’s in store:

Writing a Series

Since I’m going to be working on Book 2 in the UnFairy Tale series over the next few months, I thought it would be fun to blog about the experience. I’m also hoping to line up some guest posts from other authors who’ve written series, to get their take on the process.

MG Spotlights

I like to blog about good books that I’ve read, but for some reason I’ve been reading primarily YA recently. So my goal is to focus more on MG (which I love!) and help spread the word about some great reads.

Animal Pictures

Okay, that’s not that different from what I’ve already been doing. I guess I just wanted to reassure you that the cute animal pics will continue. :-)

    Happy New Year! I’m especially interested about learning from your journey in writing a series and learning about more MG books. I need to read more of them too.

    Yay on working on the next in the series. And double YAY on featuring/focus on MG this year. Ya know…you could always join us for Marvelous Middle Grade Mondays…heh heh.

    Cheers and Happy New Year!

    I love middle grade too and write it but end up reading more YA. Some middle grade is great for adults and kids – and some are great for just kids. Don’t feel bad. Can’t wait for the series about writing book 2 – I’ve heard it’s never easy!

    Thanks, everyone! Glad to hear there’s so much interest in MG and in series writing.

    Deb, I’ve been thinking about doing MG Mondays. I’ll make that one of my goals. :-)

    Writing a series sounds like fun and very hard work. Good luck in this new year. Thanks for keeping the animal pics :)
