I’ve been exploring productivity on these pages for a full year now, and I'm still having fun. From the beginning, I knew that I would cover the basics – tips on preparation, drafting, and rewriting. More themes emerged, based primarily on feedback and requests, including dealing with distractions, collaboration, and refilling the well.
Bigger Stories and Writing Tools took on lives of their own
– leading to courses, as well as multiple posts.
Gwen Hernandez deserves special mention. Her guest post on
Scrivener accounts for about one in seven of my pageviews and continues to
bring me new readers.
Thanks also to the many writers who have been featured in
Every Other Friday interviews:
Alex Benedict, RC Bonitz, Gerri Brousseau, Dani Collins, Eileen
Cook, TL Costa, Barry Crimmins, Jennifer Fusco, Kate George, Kourtney Heintz, Kristan
Higgins, Sara Humphreys, Marian Lanouette, Katy Lee, MH Mead, Melanie R
Meadors, Carter Phipps, Stephanie Queen, PJ Sharon, Joy Smith, Doug Solter, Tawny
Weber, Casey Wyatt, and Bob Zaslow.
And, of course, thanks to all readers, especially those who
leave comments.
Believe it or not, I have more to say on the themes that have carried the blog
this far. More authors have agreed to be interviewed, and I hope to have more
guest posts. And I’m curious about new ways to become more productive: Helpful
forms and questionnaires, useful tropes, journaling help, crit groups, mentors,
and more. Of course, I welcome suggestions on new topics or deeper explorations
of old themes.
For those who geek out on numbers, here are a few statistics:
