Thursday Thirteen #9 — Looking Ahead

Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmail

If you haven’t been here in a few days — or since last week — be sure you scroll down a few posts and catch up. You’ve missed some fun stuff — including me being tagged for a meme! (shocking!)

So when you’re done Thirteening this week, be sure to check out what you’ve missed. Dethklok, Miss Snark, and a few words of wisdom from Trevor himself.

What’ll this week hold?

I’m still figuring that out.

Now, on to the business at hand:

Thirteen Things I want to bring to the blog in 2007

1. More of the new Susan Speaks commentaries (the link will bring you to an example of a past one)

2. Pam Derbish

3. more story arcs like Green Hair Week

4. merchandise!

5. Podcasts devoted to the outtakes

6. a Myspace page that’ll feature music

7. new West of Mars graphics and art (got ideas? Know anyone who does? Speak up!) — possibly related to the aforementioned merch

8. hopefully a new look to the old meet-and-greet here

9. contests! Contests! (look for the first one soon)

10. a reputable agent, publisher, and agent who love Trevor and everyone else as much as we do (from my typing fingers to God’s eyes, huh?)

11. more of you groupies to entertain on a semi-daily basis

12. A listing in my sidebar of books I’ve loved, so you can read and love them, too

13. Charity — like this one, or not.

Links to other Thursday Thirteens!
1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!)

Get the Thursday Thirteen code here!

The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

HUGE thanks to laughing muse for today’s TT header. Isn’t it incredible?

    Those sound like great ideas! Hey have you thought about starting a a href=”http://www.squidoo.com”Squidoo lens/a? I just started one on a href=”http://www.squidoo.com/romancebooks”Romance publishing/a yesterday! The best thing about it is that you can donate some of the proceeds to your favorite charity!br /br /Happy New Year!

    *sigh* Yeah, number ten’s the brass ring, that’s for sure. BUT you guys can all make that happen, by supporting all the other ideas as I introduce them, and bringing your friends around and helping me spread the word. br /br /My success depends on yours — just like ShapeShifter’s depends on their fans. Symbiosis, ya know?

    My my, aren’t you the ambitious one? I haven’t told anyone yet, but I plan to slack off on my blog in the coming year and focus more on ireal/i writing. Shhhh.

    So long as you don’t try to wash my hair with it, sure, chocolate can be a prize along the way! 😀

    I’m looking forward to the music, merchandise and the podcasts. Seriously. 😉

  30. Susan Helene Gottfried

    December 31, 2006 7:23 pm

    Then I shall make them a higher priority. Although the merch is a pretty high priority to begin with, to be honest. It’s been a dream of mine, so that one NEEDS to happen.
