  Sideon's Sanctuary — Authority: 114
  I made a few friends at the Big Sur writing conference and I found out tonight that one of them got an agent with the Andrea Brown Literary team.  I’m so excited for her and her first young adult novel!  At the time of the conference I got to read the first five chapters and I was impressed with her writing.  She ...

• Writing: The Process of Rejection

  
  Colleen Anderson — Authority: 123
  Anyone who wants to be a writer should not even bother if they can’t handle rejection. Rejection is a big part of the picture and it’s your work, the very words you may have sweat blood and tears to create that gets rejected. Some people, especially first-time novelists treat their creation and more endearing that ...

  2009: Another Year of the Books — Authority: 494
  *So I got two rejections back-to-back yesterday. Ouch. Double ouch. Rejections never stop hurting. No matter how many times you get accepted, each rejection throws you back into fear and doubt.I can’t do this.I suck at this.I should just give up. Why did I ever think I could be a writer?Right? Okay, maybe that’s ...

  don't get caught news & info: communications strategies, training and content — Authority: 122
  Earlier this month, a client told me she was starting to work on the script for a long documentary-style web video . It was a compelling story: a patient had undergone extensive, grueling treatments, and not only had recovered but went on to achieve even more as an athlete and volunteer. There were hours and hours of ...

  Image: Business Pundit I began the mammoth task of sifting through my email yesterday. I’m still missing several days from last week despite being assured they will come through once all the data is copied over, but I remain dubious. AM – can you resend your email please? It looks like it’s got lost and I ...

• Writing=Marketing

  
  Some Mad Hope — Authority: 122
  I know Ive read a million times that once you get a publisher to pick up your book the juggling really starts. You not only have to be able to write a book, you have to write a book at the same time as you are editing the last book, and working on marketing for that book or a previous book, even if thats just getting ...

• The Hollow Crown revision process step one

  
  Mad Libs — Authority: 126
  So I’m usually rather disorganized about my editing process. My editor sends me a letter giving me her feedback. Usually that involves a couple of pages of the larger issues, then a list of things by page number that are much smaller issues to deal with. The way I usually approach the revisions (once I’ve howled ...

  2009: Another Year of the Books — Authority: 494

• An Interesting Editing Discovery

  
  Author's Echo — Authority: 118
  Im almost halfway through the 3rd Edit of Air Pirates (as you can see on the sidebar, or you could if you also knew that there are 28 chapters). I always notice interesting things when I edit. For one thing, there are always more typos. I mean, whats up with that? For another, Ive discovered that there are ...

  Tropic Temper — Authority: 126
  Hard at work!! (as the morning wore on, another three people came...) On Saturday morning we had a write in at a coffee shop in Bangsar. Good fun to meet fellow NaNoWriMo folk. Most of whom did more writing than me... I was too busy making everyones aquaintance. Still, managed 1,000 words in spite of the chatting. ...

• The Mail I Get - Writing the Treatment

  
  A Writer's Life — Authority: 471
  Bryon Stedman  asked me this question in a comment  to another post: I have a situation where a broadcast entity claims they want to hear my idea for a boxing series or made for TV movie. The characters belong to my family from a comic drawn by my father. If a narrative is they way to go, what are the key ...

• Nanoday #7 — the YA teen romance gets going — belles lettres, style…

  
  Valentine Bonnaire — Authority: 122
  Had a good morning, but it took a while to get started.  Over at Uppity’s I watched a trailer for “V” — hmm… It’s harder than I thought a bit going over 2,000 a day.  The secret is not to worry too much about editing the rough draft — I decided to do character driven and I think that is where I spend ...

• The Internal Editor: Sometimes Forcible Confinement Is Best

  
  Booklorn — Authority: 407
  Most Novembers I end up doing NaNoWriMo . The combination of a deadline and a word count forces me to write whether I have something to say or not. The first year that I did NaNoWriMo (way back in the mists of time, circa 2005), I went to the local kick off party where we ate pizza, introduced ourselves, and did a ...

• Fifteen Days of Deverry Interviews: Writers and Creativity

  
  DeepGenre — Authority: 454
  QUESTION: Let’s talk about the meta part of writing. When we were young, it was all about the story. As we get older, we not only look harder at the material, but at ourselves as writers. How have you changed as a writer? KIT: I hope, quite simply, that I’ve gotten better. I think I have. When I look at ...

• Writing in the Dark

  
  HighCallingBlogs.com — Authority: 540
  L.L. here with Random Acts of Poetry. Writing in the dark. “That’s bad for your eyes, LL,” somebody’s going to say. And I’m not going to argue. Because the kind of in-the-dark writing I do is all in my head. This is not to say I imagine I write in the dark. I really DO write in the dark. Especially ...

• The thing I love most...

  
  Some Mad Hope — Authority: 122
  Its Friday and I find myself asking, where the heck did the week go? I guess I had kids home several days because of teacher conferences, another got the flu, there was a final goldfish burial, election day, a random trip to the gym (which is getting infrequent enough to be rendered almost useless)... and there went ...

• First Outside Author Pep Talk Knocks it Out of the Park

  
  Words, Words, Words — Authority: 112
  A couple days ago, I wrote that, while I enjoy the pep talks that famous writers put together for Nanowrimo participants, they often feel out of touch with what I think the month is about: Today, I eat my words. Jasper Fforde gets it. His pep talk, the first I’ve received this month from an outside author, ...

  Tropic Temper — Authority: 126
