Determined to make this Monday a more productive day than the previous one, which was spent doing yard work, domestic chores and shopping, I started my day with reading the introductory chapters to my 2012 Writer’s Market.

Writer’s Market has been the bible for new writers since before I was in high school. I was amused, and a bit relieved, to find that it is keeping up with today’s writing environment. The opening chapters included a web link for a webinar on creating a writer’s platform, as well as the online location of the Writer’s Market website.

How much have I used my Writer’s Market book and subscription? Well, I found Demand Studios through the website, which led to oDesk, which has obtained for me most of my current writing projects. I intend to use it to continue my efforts to break into more standard publishing venues. Exploring markets and honing my craft is a never-ending project. I hope to be busy in this way for a long time to come.
