I'm learning about enhanced metadata and how it can be used to improve the "discoverability" of books. I've posted my findings and other links for authors on today's blog. http://coppertopcollins.blogspot.com.
Feeling the need to alter my course. Looks like it's time for a cool change!

The WritersDigestConference in NYC just ended. Information to absorb, connections to follow up, pages to send out to agents!.

I find the difference between my first draft and my finished product is much like the difference between the original broth and the finished soup after it has had time to simmer and let the flavors blend into richness.
It's good to keep those…
Buckled in ready for takeoff. Writers Conference here we come!

Spent today cramming for the Writers Digest Conference. Cram all the clothes in a carry-on, cram all the novel into a 90second pitch!

Amy,
Thanks for the add on the blog. About the questions: I promised myself that I would post more often this year, not waiting for big, fully-formed thoughts, but instead to just throw down what's in my head and let it go from there. I'm…

Thanks Ginger,
I just signed up for your blog. I hope to participate soon...I like that your questions are not the typical ones I see everywhere.
I'll figure out how to friend you on She Writes as well.
Take care and…

Hallie, You're right about the Goodreads site. I've heard authors say they make solid connections with readers there.
I think part of it is the commitment to list, (and write a blurb about) your personal library of books. There's an…
It's a good thing my husband and I like each other. 600sq.ft. is close quarters during these marathon snow events.

My Favorite Place To Write
Posted on March 12, 2010 at 5:12pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
My favorite place to write is at anchor. There are the silent sounds of nature, fresh air, and no temptations from the outside world.
Writing onboard is a seasonal luxury. During the off-season, I can write just about any place, as long as I have silence. Car trips are good. I plug my laptop into the inverter and have a constant source of power. With my IPod on "white noise" I drift blissfully into the writing zone for hours at a time while… Continue

kiana davenport said… - Dear Ginger...you can go online to Poets and Writers Magazine and subscribe, they have a special offer for new subscribers. 6 issues a year for $17.95 instead of the usual $35.70. Every writer should read it, its the Bible for free-lance writers. Interviews, Conferences, story contests, articles on agents, publishing and ebooks. I've published three novels and lots of short stories but I still read it religiously. It keeps you connected to the writing community no matter where you are. Good luck! And alohas from Hawaii...Kiana Davenport

Tania Pryputniewicz said… - Ginger, I love the title of your blog "Off The Top of My Red Head;" I'll be back to check out your writing/promoting resource heavy blog. Great to meet you...envy you the open (though not always friendly) seas...your writing retreat of choice. I'm tree-locked (redwoods) but they have their own peace and quiet too. Onward...in good company. Sweet to meet.

Ren M. Brock said… - Thanks. It's going to be hard trying to change my line of perception, but hopefully with prayer and training I can make it work. I'm trying to ingest as much information as possible about faith, writing, and reflection all corresponding each other to try and improve my technique. I'm taking a creative writing course this semester at my university and it's really humbling me and pulling me back down to Earth. Thanks for the add. :)
