Friday Guest Post: The Good, The Bad, and The Critical

Please welcome our first Friday Guest Poster, Jessica Baverstock! Jessica writes the wonderful blog, Creativity's Workshop, in which Creativity is featured as a real character. Creativity writes in purple ink, you gotta love it. And both Jessica and Creativity have really good things to say about writing, as you'll see when you read this post. […]

Creativity Writing

Look To Your Language

I'm not entirely certain I can explain this. But, as always, that never stopped me and I'll give it a go. As I've mentioned before, I'm studying marketing, of the internet and other varieties. My new favorite expert in this field is Lisa Sasevich, and one of the things she talks about a lot is […]

Journal Writing

The Carry-Along Book

This is going to be a short post today (I know what you're thinking–ha! when has she ever managed to write a short post?) because, ta-da, my office furniture is assembled (thanks to my long-suffering husband) and I want to spend time moving myself back in. This is actually the very first post I've written […]

What If…?

What if…every time you did something you didn't want to do, you put the energy you'd usually use complaining about it into getting it done faster? What if…every time you were at work you acted grateful for the paycheck instead of whining about what a crappy job you have? What if…every time you failed you […]

Critiques Guest Post

More Friday Fun: Mini-Critiques

So, last Friday I wrote about the death of Festive Fridays and invited guest posts. I also invited comment on what my Friday feature should be and it turns out a fair number of you wanted examples of good and bad writing. But I can't do that. I can't do that because I don't look […]

Office-less

This is my office. Or at least, this is what it looked like yesterday, for awhile, after I had carted piles of books and binders and files and other must-haves out into the hall (see photo below). I am, for the moment, office-less. For years, I have been working on a grotty old desk […]

The Black and White of Writing

When I was working on my MFA, I attended a lecture extolling the virtues of not writing. (I actually think I wrote a post on this topic–ah yes, here it is.) The talk was presented by one of the MFA faculty, a prolific writer herself. Yet most of the time I exhort people to write […]

Guest Post: Networking: An Essential of the Writing Life

Please welcome my good friend Linda Busby Parker to Wordstrumpet today. I'll let Linda tell you the story of our friendship, but I want to urge you to go visit her blog, because she is starting a book club on May 1st, and let me just tell you, nobody deconstructs a novel the way Linda […]

My Grandfather, the Author

My grandfather, who died before I was born, was an author. I didn't know this until yesterday. Not only that, he marketed his book himself, and wrote some pretty awesome direct mail copy to sell it. (You can see some of it in a brochure he wrote in the photo above.) If he were alive […]

The Party’s Over

The last few weeks, I've been running a feature called Festive Fridays on, well, Fridays. But, I have to say, the party has been a bit of a dud. Or at least it seems so to me. The posts don't get any comments and I'm certainly not receiving breathless emails urging me to keep them […]
