Becoming A Writer Seriously
[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="202" caption="Image via Wikipedia"][/caption]When I first started this blog almost 2 years ago, it appeared to be the only one around that focussed exclusively on productivity for writers, surveying software and tools for writers and exploring a broad compass of topics relating to the (Read More)

The Writer's Technology Companion
In honor of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), I’ll be running a series of interviews with writers who have tried their hand at the NaNoWriMo challenge before. Hopefully, their words will lend other writers advice and inspiration as they attempt the feat of creating a 50,000-word manuscript in 30 days. Our first vol (Read More)

Remarkable Communication
The hardest thing about small business is getting started. In the past few weeks, I keep getting email from lovely people who want to launch a business, but they don’t know where to begin. They’re overwhelmed, confused, and in a lot of cases, pretty scared.Since I’ve obsessively looked at dozens (maybe hundreds) of resource (Read More)

The Writing Life
Whether you have never published a book or have written many books, how do you support good books? We have a wealth of reading material. Pick your type of reading and it is certainly being produced in large numbers. The "catch" for these new books is getting any attention or reviews. Newspapers and magazines are constantly (Read More)

The Writer's Technology Companion
In the last installment, we examined how to compose and check your writing using the Linux tools txt2tags and aspell. Let’s assume that you’ve used these tools now — used them quite a lot. You now have several directories and sub-directories filled with dozens of text files. How to organiz (Read More)

The Writer's Technology Companion
It’s November, and that means National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short and harder to type), that wonderful time of year when writers and would-be writers throw off the bounds of sanity and commit themselves to writing a full-fledged novel in a month. And it’s not even one of the long, 31-day months!I do (Read More)

The Writing Life
Writing is a solitary profession. If you have a novel in process or are one of the estimated 8 million people who have a novel in their desk drawer, where do you turn for professional help? (This 8 million number is in Get Published! page 64).In this entry, I want to suggest a free resource for anyone who is working on a no (Read More)

Writing Forward
What steps do you take to get a writing project done? photo credit: mandykohMethod to MadnessOne day, many years ago, I was working in an office. The executives were having a meeting to discuss implementing some new procedures. It was a hot day and the conference room was small and crowded, so the door was open. As I passed (Read More)

The Writing Life
As I read the queries and pitches that come to me as a literary agent, I'm continually amazed at the incomplete submissions--whether it is a one page query letter or a book proposal and sample chapters or a fiction submission. Why is it a problem for these writers? They want to get their book idea published yet because they (Read More)

The Writing Journey
Why do you write?This is a question I ask myself on a regular basis. Any activity you spend eight to ten hours a day doing is worth a little bit of reflection, now and again. After all, if I were able to go to a job every day and do tedious and unfulfilling tasks until quitting time, I’d be doing it instead of writing (Read More)

Field Notes
We don’t make a big deal about it because we like pleasant surprises, but for some time, we’ve been including a FIELD NOTES pen and/or pencil (or other goodies) in our memo book orders. Customers dug our writing implements enough to ask for more, so thanks to popular demand they’re now available for purcha (Read More)

The Writer's Technology Companion
Though writing itself is generally a pretty solitary endeavor, writers can benefit greatly from meeting with and talking to other writers, whether for writing critique, business advice, or just plain emotional support. But how do you find other writers? There’s no “Yellow Pages” entry for “struggling (Read More)

The Writing Journey
As you all are well aware, I’m not in the “Make Money Online” blog crowd. Like I said the other day, I blog when I’ve got something I think will be useful to other writers. I write about common mistakes, ways to improve your writing, and even about some of the online writing tools that I use.I tend t (Read More)

It’s no easy thing to connect simple words in ways that have life and meaning. It can seem that we’re at the mercy of an unfriendly muse who is stingy with ideas and generous writer’s block. That’s just not so. (Read More)
