Hi friends & writers!
I wanted to start the year by sending out a weekly writing newsletter. Its purpose is to clear a space for creative writing in people’s busy lives, once a week.
Though it may evolve, The Tuesday Writer currently has three parts: process, featured venue, prompt. Please send me a YES if you would like to continue receiving it; otherwise this is the only issue you’ll receive. Read on …
PROCESS: GOAL-SETTING FOR THE WRITING YEAR
Many writers find it helpful to set both large and small goals for a writing year. The large goals (finishing a book, for example) provide continuity to each writing session; the small goals (finishing a poem and sending it out) give a sense of tangible accomplishment on a daily or weekly basis. Together, these provide fuel for a writer to create a sustainable practice.
Try this: This week, write down one large and twelve small writing goals for this year. Post them near your writing spot.
FEATURED VENUE: ANDERBO
Dubbed “Best New Online Literary Journal,” anderbo.com features writers in fiction, fact, and poetry. It is notable for publishing a single online issue that it regularly adds to, and it is always looking for new voices. No pay, but good publicity.

PROMPT
Before writing to the prompt, get yourself into a writing space that feels comfortable, and make sure you have in front of you ten uninterrupted minutes. Mark the ritual by some tangible thing: put on warm socks, or light a candle, or make a cup of tea. Once you are ready to write, set a timer and go!

Please share The Tuesday Writer with other writers.
