Thanks for your comment, Sonya.
"A work in progress quickly becomes feral" - my WIP exactly.
I haven't finished reading Annie Dillard. I had to put her book down for a few different reasons, but I'd like to go back to it. Parts of her book read ve…
Sorry -- "How we spend OUR days." Misquoting AD is blasphemy, I feel.
Christi, this book is a kind of Bible for me (and Annie Dillard is a kind of guru in my mind). "How we spend out days is, of course, how we spend our lives." I also think often, when I'm writing, about "I don't so much write a book as sit up with it…

In response to a blog award (Happiness 101) and a writing prompt about happiness, I asked myself: What makes me happy?
Then, I wrote.
Happy.
Wordsmith.org tossed out a tough word of the day for a 24 hour writing challenge. But, even a word like artiodactyl inspires a story:

Very sweet, Victoria. I love those kinds of moments!
Every Wednesday I click on Wordsmith.org and think of a way to incorporate Today's Word into a post. It's a challenge and a risk, since I give myself by midnight on Wednesday to publish - and hopefully publish something decent. But the exercise keep…
For authors and publishers working in any of the myriad of e-book formats to gather and share resources.
I picked up The Writing Life last week. And, this morning read two quotes that struck a chord with me:
Ode to the Patient Writer
What are your favorite quotes from her book?
With the hustle and bustle of the last week, and visitors this week, I'm struggling to find time to write. Not to mention the overwhelming urge to throw out a mess of old items to make way for the new.
But, with writing, you can't purge.

Keeping up with Wed's word of the day
Every Wednesday I click on Wordsmith.org and think of a way to incorporate Today's Word into a post. It's a challenge and a risk, since I give myself by midnight on Wednesday to publish - and hopefully publish something decent. But the exercise keeps me writing, even when I don't like the word "in hand."

I'm not sure where I stand on this issue. It's a toss up for me as well. I have been vacillating constantly as to whether I should go the self-publishing route or the traditional. I really look forward to seeing some discussion on this matter.
