Write That Mountain to the Top

I've been thinking a lot about goals and how achieving them can be a little like rock climbing. Sometimes it's easy going, the path is clear and it's just a matter of finding the right hand and foot hold. But then there are times when it seems impossible, when your hanging upside down and there's no place to go.

Here's my take on my writing goals as seen through the life of a rock climber.  


Brainstorming & Outlining



The Writing Process



The Critiquing Process




The Querying Process




Getting That Publishing Contract

And now the real work begins.

Next . . . a little entertainment. 

You've all heard this song a million times, but it fits my blog post, so I'm repeating it here. Enjoy!






In what stage of your writing career are you?  

Keep climbing. You'll make it!
