If You Write It, They Will Read It
Welcome to the Year 2010!
Did you ever watch Conan O’Brien and his sidekick, Andy, doing their skit “In the year 3000“? Fun stuff.
So here we are in the year 2010. Resolutions are being made. Changes and revisions are being pursued. Now’s your chance to get in a squeal of a deal at any of the gyms in town. And since the introduction of the fantasmagoric CSUC Associated Students gym, there will be some incredible deals.
And how about you, as a writer? What does this mean for the likes of us? Maybe this is your year to take your writing to a whole new level. To dust off a few manuscripts, spend some one-on-one time and polish it up, see if it will fly. Try your hand at a different genre, perhaps, maybe even a completely different style or just work on improving what’s tried and proven already.
Whatever your resolutions are, your goals, your dreams and aspirations, may the year 2010 be yours! And to help kick off your year, we bring to you the very first issue of the CWG Yet To Be Named Newsletter, a monthly publication for all current and former members of the Chico Writers Group. Enjoy!

Here are some tips and sage advice from authors and professional writing coaches that might help you reevaluate and take the stand in setting writing goals.
