On the advice of a writing pal, my New Year resolution is to write between 100 and 1000 words a day - whatever else happens in life. Pathetic by comparison with all you hard workers, but achievable for me with other commitments. Good luck to all in 2017.Madeleine McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414953342029303620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850834701427655460.post-68466875239496395702017-01-08T18:42:14.139-05:002017-01-08T18:42:14.139-05:00I do a lot of things anymore that go against my us...I do a lot of things anymore that go against my usual state of "whatever happens happens".

I guess you could say I plan, but I plan to adapt. You're right, this field is changing way too fast. The best plan still seems the same. Keep writing, keep studying your craft, keep reading and know your market. These are the only constants I've seen.
