Thanks for posting on my wall and inviting me to the group. Look forward to what everyone has to say. Is there anyone from Australia in this group?

I'm a Mac girl myself, but the Fire was a gift and I must say, I'm loving it. A few odd quirks yet, but I found that with the iPad, too. It takes a bit for me to immerse myself in an app based platform. I'm just so used to my computer and keyboard. Wish the Fire used Swype. I heard it's cool.

I'm holding out for the iPad 3, I think. Not sure I will read books on it, but I suppose we'll see.

@Meg, interesting, but not surprising when I think of how many people I know (including me and my new Kindle Fire) who got one for the Holidays. This was the big gift of the year.

Heard on NPR this morning that tablet ownership basically doubled in the last month. Yikes!

From this article:  "We are not only in a digital age but also and importantly we are now entering a golden age for writing."

Thanks for that link, Shawn. Really interesting to watch this unfold.

And Scotland! That is tempting!

Comment by Zetta Brown on December 20, 2011 at 8:22am

Just an FYI in addition to the residency Julia mentioned and those interested in studying in Scotland, but there's a publishing program available at Edinburgh Napier University that covers journalism, publishing, and creative writing. 

It's a fairly new program (2009) and the only one of its kind in the UK. We posted an article on our blog about it when it first started. Check it out here.

Welcome, Valerie. It's good to keep on top of things - or at least informed. :)
