With snowstorms and flooding, it’s been quite a week, hasn’t it? While we can’t rely on the weather, we can depend on a steady supply of great articles on writing and self-publishing. I’ve picked out some of the best from this week to share with you. Hope you find them interesting!

Even More New Year’s Resolutions for Writers
“Two years ago I posted a set of New Year’s resolutions for writers, which was well enough received that I posted another set of resolutions the following December.

"Writers change the world one reader at a time. But you can't change the world with a book that's still on your hard drive or in a box under your bed. This blog exists to help you get that book into people's hands."
