Peek into the weekly schedule of a writer who has influence, and you will notice that she's focused on platform growth. Very likely her planner is full of commitments, appointments, and deadlines, including scheduled time to write. You'll probably notice a steady stream of tasks to help her increase visibility, such as her speaking gigs, Web editing, and curriculum, flyer, or book development. Once you start working on developing your platform daily, your writing career will gain momentum.This holiday season, don't forget the writers in your life. If you are, however, considering a gift subscription to Writer's Digest, may we suggest, instead, titles such as The Atlantic Monthly, or Granta, or the Virgina Quarterly Review*?
*If you fear such titles will allow you to peek into the nose of said writer and see snot, Kleenex makes a great stocking stuffer.
