Christmas in July 12/27/2011
 Had a relaxing few days since Christmas? Great! Were at least some of your Christmas photos taken with an eye to publication? If so, you're on your way to selling magazine or web articles and shorts related to the holidays in 2012. For holiday pieces, think ahead. A year in advance, if necessary. For magazines especially, articles related to the holidays will be bought long before the tinsel hits the tree. The deadline for articles and photos may be in the middle of summer. Where do you get your Christmas photos in July? You don't. You take them now, and stow them away till you need them. This goes for any holiday you might want to write about. If you always take a few good photos that aren't obviously personal to you, and store them in a well-labeled file, you'll have a selection of art to offer for any holiday article opportunity that comes your way. Happy New Year, and much luck in writing for 2012! CommentsLeave a Reply | Anika on Writing
My motto: Stop whining, start editing! Practical tips and thoughts on fiction and nonfiction can help. I might whine about the revisions of my first novel, The Last Man. But only a little. Promise.
