My life is insane this week. In addition to training for a half-marathon, editing two books, and touring every kindergarten in California, I’ve been left to take care of two snot-nosed kids (literally, there are balls of snotty toilet paper all over the house) alone while my husband is out of town on a business [...]
First off, we have a winner for a signed copy of A Thousand Lives: The Untold Story of Hope, Deception and Survival in Jonestown by New York Times bestselling author Julia Scheeres. That winner is:
MOLLY!
Molly, e-mail me your full name and address, and I will pop the book in the mail to you [...]
In addition to my regularly scheduled post this week, I’d like to announce the first ever Writerland Pledge Drive! Just like on NPR, we at Writerland need to interrupt our regularly scheduled posts now and then to ask our readers to donate in order to keep Writerland alive. Writerland does not accept cash, checks, or [...]
First of all, I’m sad that Bloglines is going out of business, and I need to transfer my feeds FAST because I just got notice, and they’re closing at the end of the month. I know all you cool cats probably use Google Reader, but then I don’t think that Google Reader existed when I [...]
This week and next I’ll be posting a series of videos from the San Francisco Writer’s Grotto Open House, which took place Thursday, September 16. Oscar Villalon, former book review editor for the San Francisco Chronicle and former publisher at McSweeney’s (the inside joke in the video will now make sense) emceed the event. The [...]
If you’re in the market for an iPad case, I demonstrate three of them here, and discuss a fourth. The video is on the long side and, yes, I know the top of my head is chopped off. I’m still new at this VLOG thing!
What about you? Have you tested any iPad cases? [...]
Finally, links!
As you’ve probably heard by now, according to Jeff Bezos, e-book sales have surpassed hardcover book sales at Amazon (but I’m curious to know how e-book sales compare to paperback sales).
And from The Nation, the trouble with Amazon.
From my friend Connie Hale over at Sin and Syntax (have you bought her [...]
Life has been a bit insane around here with our cat just back from hospital and on an IV. I feel like I have THREE kids now (or two kids and a senior citizen). Here’s a quick vlog, and sorry the bottom of the poster got cut off. Also, for some reason on all of [...]
I’m having technical difficulties with iMovie, so please excuse the weird double audio clips in this video. And while I’m trying to figure out how that happened, enjoy a mini tour of the Grotto, a co-op of full-time writers who share an office space near South Park in San Francisco.
