While I’ve attended a couple writing conferences, the Santa Barbara Writers Conference and the Community of Writers at Squaw Valley, my friend Christine over at 80,000 words is much more experienced in this department and has offered to write a guest post about writing residencies and conferences. Enjoy!
Finding space (psychic and physical) and […]
A friend of mine photocopied a chapter out of Your Spacious Self by Stephanie Bennett Vogt, a book about clearing the clutter out of your life. I haven’t read the book, or the chapter for that matter, but what my friend told me she got out of it is this: When setting goals, make them […]
In 2005, I started recording all the books I read (I wish I’d done this many years ago). Because I’m a slow reader, my goal each year is to read 24 books (two per month). This year, I fell sadly short with just 13 completed and two more in the works. That’s what having two […]
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted any links, so here are a few that caught my eye. Starting with the heavily anticipated Apple Tablet expected out this March, there is much speculation. According to Apple Insider, Apple filed a patent for a VERY COOL tactile keyboard. The site also reports that Apple […]
My nanny took the week off, so I won’t be posting as frequently this week. (For those of you who don’t know, I have a two-year-old and a three-month old). For some words on the balancing act of being a writer and a mama, check out my guest blog post over at Jade Park’s blog.

Since I don’t expect to be online tomorrow or the next day, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. This is my favorite Christmas special scene:

“You may have already heard of Heifer International, an organization that works to fight hunger by giving needy families around the world and in the United States livestock, training, or other assistance that helps improve their […]
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.
San Francisco Writers’ Grotto […]
You’ve written your book, you’ve revised it, you’ve had it edited, you’ve queried agents and while waiting for responses you decide to research who’s who in the publishing industry. Soon, of course, you realize that all the big publishing houses are owned by international media conglomerates, which may explain why they’re more interested in the […]
I know I’m not the first blogger to ask this question, but would you still write if you knew you were never going to be published? I find this question impossible to answer because I am DETERMINED to get published, even if it means self-publishing (although, does that count when anyone can self-publish?) I guess […]
