Wow, don't you just love all this talk about writing novels! The novel is alive and well and being written in a million different ways. Thanks for playing Grinch here, Tayari, and provoking all these comments. Write on, everyone!

This is great - I love how some of us are pushing the ONE perfect writing day into a long, 3-day weekend. Bravo! :-)
Joan Dempsey replied to the discussion 'visualize your perfect writing day' in the group Essay Writing
Hey, thanks, Christa, for taking this idea from my free e-book (at www.literaryliving.com) and playing with it here.
I thought everyone might be interested to know that when I did a survey of writers I thought might be interested in the Literary…

Hey Joan! Thanks for turning me on to SheWrites! I love it. I'm in the middle of a big transition (cross-country move) but will be in tune here, on Facebook, and will do my best to update my blog at krystalkel.blogspot.com at least weekly. I am…
Joan Dempsey commented on the blog post 'The Power of Perseverance'
"Writing is my way of life," you say. It's always a good reminder to understand that the journey of writing - the process, the people we meet along the way, the books we read, conferences we attend, all of it - is our way of life. The…

Joan, the Power of Deliberate Thinking is a life-saver - one of those flotation devices thrown to someone in peril of drowning. I've sent links to two of my daughters who are writing college theses this coming term, and I'm wondering how…

Glad you found my e-book helpful, Elizabeth - that 10 minutes a day can make all the difference. Here's a great one-pager on how to develop the writing habit, from Leo Babauta (ThePowerofLess.com).

Joan, Delighted to have you join us the Novelist group. You might jump in by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about…
Joan Dempsey commented on the group 'Mother Writer!'
That tug away from writing is so terribly common, especially for women, and especially when it's a kiddo competing for your time. I have a dear friend who's got two small ones and she's benefited from doing 10 minutes of writing a…

Thanks, Olivia, for checking out the book. I hope it's helpful. One of my dear writing friends has two little ones as well and she's benefited tremendously from the stuff you'll find in Ch 7: The Habit of Small Successes. Let me know…

Joan,
I just requested your Power of Deliberate Thinking and can't wait to read it! I'm an aspiring writer with a 5 and 2 year old. It's difficult to balance my (happy) obligation to them and also find time to write. I'll look…

I've sent links to two of my daughters who are writing college theses this coming term, and I'm wondering how to apply the principles to other professions. For instance, how would it apply to my overworked physician husband?

How John Cusack ruined Valentine's Day for Me.
Jeannette LeSure commented on the blog post 'How to Write Memoir? 1. Forget Writing Prompts and Exercises 2. Stake Out Your Territory'
While I agree that we can get carried away and even use prompts and exercises as effective avoidance techniques to tell ourselves, well, we ARE writing something, I found two books and a couple of classes to be enormously helpful in getting me going…

This is so beautiful. Thank you for your generous spirit and for sharing it. I am slowly working on a memoir that has been "near finished" for two years. I'm struggling not to let writing be "the first to go," when life gets…
