My Three Words for 2016

Ha, you thought I’d forgotten, didn’t you? Because every year I choose three words to guide me. Except usually I do it in early December. Not this year, though. For some reason, most of December seemed like one big blur to me this year. But never mind. Here it is the last day of the […]

Journal Writing

Favorite Writing Journals (C’mon, You Know You Want One)

Journals. Oh, God, journals. In the recent purge of much of my office crap, I gave away a ton of them. And yet I still have tons of them (note photo. And I’m pretty sure I’ve got at least another box and another bag of them somewhere upstairs). But that’s because I love them so […]

Christmas Movies

It’s a few days before Christmas, and I still have shopping to do and presents to wrap. And cookies to bake. Forgot about that. So what am I going to do tonight? Watch a Christmas movie, of course. Because, Christmas movie. Enough said. In general, I’m a terrible movie watcher, which is ironic for a […]

Otherwhere: It’s Almost Christmas!

I’ve got a bushel full of links for you today, many of them Christmas-related, because, in case you hadn’t noticed, the big day is only five days away. Awk! Excuse me while I go wrap some presents. No, instead I’ll do what I always do when I’m feeling overwhelmed: fart around on the internet. Here […]

Last Minute Gifts for Writers

Today is December 15th, which may qualify as last minute for some of you but not for me. I have not bought a single present. But that’s okay, because A. my family has very much cut back on the over-the-top gift giving and B. I am a dedicated online shopper. So as far as I’m […]

Otherwhere: Only One Day Late This Week!

It appears that Christmas is kicking my ass. Appears that way, because it feels like I’ve been crazy busy, so busy that I’ve not collected my usual round-up of links. But I’m not running around shopping like crazy because I refuse to spend time in malls and do most of it online. And I gave […]

Write On, With Confidence and Hope, Even Through Christmas*

Yes, I know. It is the holiday season, and whatever holiday (Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza, a pagan solstice celebration, your own made up day) you celebrate, odds are good that things are a bit, shall we say, busier than usual. And, if you are anything like me (I presume you are, because we writers do tend […]

Otherwhere: Unusual Monday Edition

It has been a good week for interesting links around the web, and I have saved several in my travels. As regular readers know, I usually do this post on Saturday. But this week on Saturday, I was co-leading a workshop called The Ins and Outs of Publishing, which was held at an awesome bookstore, […]

Publishing

A Brief History of Publishing (And Publishing Workshop Info)

So, I found the cool infographic below in my travels as I searched for information on the history of literary agents. Because, of course that is what one searches for in one’s travels. No, really, it is because I’m co-leading a workshop on publishing this weekend and since Thanksgiving was so time consuming, I’ve not told […]
