After a lackluster 2016, your hosts DA Bale and William Brian Johnson are crossing their fingers, legs, arms, and eyes hoping 2017 offers something better in the realm of indie writing and self-publishing. They aren't setting New Year's resolutions but goals for what they want to accomplish: Brian just wants to finish a new book while D sets some even loftier goals than she had in 2016. Will they make it? You'll have to wait and see.

Coming later this month is the Nuts and Bolts series, where they'll get back to basics on novel writing structure like plot, pacing, point-of-view and the like. Don't miss sharing these little nuggets of gold if you'd like to improve your writing.
