<\/a>So now that I’ve graduated by writing and publishing that doctorate, where do I go next?  What are my next steps?  <\/p>\n

This blog will be my platform to launch my learning about writing part of my lifelong learning.  I hope to turn all those research skills into writing fiction and non-fiction stories.  So how do I transform my writing skills?  That’s what I plan on exploring here.  Some things I need to consider are: <\/p>\n

1. What are the differences between research writing and writing fiction and non-fiction?
2. How does one enter the publishing world?  Previously, though I’ve published a children’s book and the teacher’s guide to go with it, this challenge did not exist at that time, as the publisher approached me and my co-author first.  But now that I’m on the outside looking to find another publisher, how does one go about it?
3.  Simple things like what grade\/reading level do I wat to write for?  I have ideas for writing picture books, chapter books, adult non-fiction, and am starting to play with the idea of writing fiction. 
4. Do I really want to abandon research writing?  Or focus more on it?<\/p>\n

 My current employer does not encourage my writing ability, so it would be a voyage on my own time and space…. and ultimately up to me… <\/p>\n

These are all the topics I’m going to be exploring in the next few blogs. Stay tuned for my answers… and please help me explore them…  <\/p>\n
