New Year's Resolutions For Weird & Wonderful Writers

12/31/2018

Today is the last day of the year and we shouldn’t spend too much time crying about all the failed resolutions we didn’t follow through with over the past 364 days. Tonight at midnight will mark the moment of a fresh opportunity. We will have a clean slate for 2019. So, what can we do to make our new year as weird and wonderful as the unique souls that live within us?
I made a list of achievable goals specifically for writers ranging from quite simple to complicated tasks. You decide. I’m challenging you to pick one or two things off this list to push yourselves into becoming a happier creative person.

Can Lit Interview with Lauren Carter

Sometimes, I do random things that turn into amazing things.

Last fall, I signed up to take an online writing course called, Lit Mag Love with Rachel Thompson, an editor with Room Magazine. It was to help me understand how to submit to literary magazines and to further my chances of actually getting published (highly recommend this course).

I'm one of those writers that consider myself to be as far from a literary writer as possible. My poetry and prose are not flowery and descriptive enough to be taken seriously in the Canadian Literary World. Possibly, it is because my emotions don't run deep enough and I don't have a background full of horrible things that happened to me while growing up. However, at least once or twice a week, I feel like I can be one of those amazing writers, digging deeper into my soul finding the words to tell a story in a unique and literary way, so I try.

During Rachel's course, one of our exercises was to find a literary writer that has already been published in a Canadian Literary Magazine and ask them questions; questions that might help a new writer get published.
