The new year starts in September!

I'm sure I can't be the only one who feels that the new year really begins in September - the shops are full of Back to School stuff, the days are a little shorter, a little chillier and we all feel fairly rested and ready for new challenges.

So, as the new year is only a few days away I'm making some changes around here as I've spent the summer writing and 'consolidating my career' (I've sent out lots of emails). The first change I'm making is to open up this blog more - it began for me as somewhere to put down a few thoughts, the occasional short story, Question of the Week post, bits and pieces really - since I've jumped onto the Twitter bandwagon I realise how much I've been underusing my web presence (see, I've even paid attention to some of the web marketing spam!). Here's my list of resolutions...

- This blog will now be clearly linked to my Twitter account - I'll stick a wiget thing on it

- If you write a blog that is particularly concerned with writing or publishing (especially if you're in the UK) then please send me a link and I'll post it up here

- I will try to post something worthwhile for writers (and readers) each week - that's going to be the hardest resolution to keep once the University term begins

- If you'd like to write a guest post on here (especially when I'm snowed under with undergraduate essays to mark!) then let me know


Ummm....that's all I can think of for now, if you have any other suggestions do get in touch.
