Join Tracks Author Eric D. Goodman on Facebook

For a few years now, Tracks author Eric D. Goodman has enjoyed sharing things with his friends on Facebook. Tips from writers, news bits about writers, discussions about literature, information about local literary events, and the latest on his own writing—and the writing of writers he knows and loves. It’s all things books and literature.


Last month, Eric hit a milestone: he reached 5,000 friends on Facebook. His prize was not a gold watch or medal. He is no longer allowed to “friend” people on Facebook because He's reached the allowance for individuals.

So Eric did what any author would do: created an author’s page! You can find it at www.Facebook.com/EricDGoodman.

If you like writing or reading, please “like” Eric's Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/EricDGoodman!  

Writing Resolutions in Writers Weekly

For my first post of 2012, a rerun! But an appropriate one, given the time of year.

Writers Weekly is the highest-circulation freelance writing ezine in the world. This time last year, they started the year by featuring my story, “Resolutions Worth Writing About.” The article focuses on writing-related new years resolutions and how to increase your chances of accomplishing them.

In the story, I gave my own writing resolutions for 2011. How did I do?

1. To actively promote my novel, TRACKS, which is being published by Atticus Books this summer. CHECK PLUS!

2. To actively promote my children's book, Flightless Goose, which is in stores now. CHECK

3. To allow myself a couple writing retreats during which my main focus is writing fiction. CHECK

4. To send out at least one short fiction submission each month. Well ... I'll work on that in 2012.

Read the story in the most recent issue of Writers Weekly, at the link below.
