I used December to sort out my goals, implement some new strategies, and try out some new writing tools.<\/p>\n<p>So far so good.<\/p>\n<p>Somehow, not having the New Year New You pressure made trying new things and discarding those that didn&#8217;t work so much easier. And it made the entrance into 2020 a little less desperate, a little less all or nothing.<\/p>\n<p>I like that.<\/p>\n<h3>I shared a little of my experience and some of my new favorite writing tools over at <a href=\"https:\/\/fromthemixedupfiles.com\/2019\/12\/my-favorite-writing-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">From the Mixed-Up Files in December<\/a>:<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It\u2019s the end of the year. For most people, the changing of the calendar is a time to take stock of where you\u2019ve been and to figure out where you want to go. Successes are counted; vision boards are created; goals are written; and a shiny new year of possibility is just waiting for the clock to strike midnight.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a hopeful time.<\/p>\n<p>This year, I decided not to wait for the new year to revamp my writing life. I dove in early \u2013 not with the stock-taking or the goal-setting components though. I\u2019m already pretty clear about where I\u2019ve been and where I\u2019d like to get. Instead, I focused on the regular sit-down-and-write parts of the job. What\u2019s working? What\u2019s not? And are there some writing tools I can use to make all of it easier?<\/p>\n<p>For the last few weeks, I\u2019ve been trying things out. I\u2019ve created some rituals to help make the transition to writing quicker and easier and I\u2019ve gotten rid of some tools\/habits that just aren\u2019t working. I\u2019ve also played with some new tools to see what might make me more efficient and more organized. I thought I\u2019d share my current writing tool box with you all as a little New Year\u2019s gift, with the hope that you might find something on my list that will make writing a little easier for you too.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fromthemixedupfiles.com\/2019\/12\/my-favorite-writing-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Head over to From the Mixed-Up Files of Middle-Grade Authors to check out my list of favorite writing tools<\/a>.
