I’m starting you out with Part 5 of Dean Wesley Smith’s posts on writers’ motivation, but you’re grown-ups and can go read the first four posts yourself. I just love this current one on writing down your Big Dream and your writers’ goals–especially in these few days before the beginning of a new year.
So [...]
I love this recent post by Meg Cabot. I’m sure MANY of us, both beginning and professional writers, can relate to it.
Confess it: Are you licking your manuscript to death even now?
Hey, in case you haven’t heard, there’s a great conference coming up for those in the Children’s and Young Adult literature/blogging field.

I just have to ask: That’s who McCain picked for a running mate? Really?
Wow.
That could be one of the weirdest things I’ve ever heard, and that includes all the stuff I learned from X-Files.
Just curious what y’all thought.
The jury’s still out on whether I’m going (it all depends on my book-writing schedule), but that’s no excuse for the rest of you not to get it together and make your plans to go to beautiful Portland, OR and spend some quality time with your fellow kidlitters and bloggers! It’s the 2nd Annual [...]
If you’ve been a reader here for long enough, you know I love Dr. Kenneth R. Miller. In a platonic, fangirl kind of way. He is a prominent science, a biology professor at Brown University, and author of the most excellent book Finding Darwin’s God: A Scientist’s Search for Common Ground Between [...]
Dudes, it’s time. Cast your thoughts toward September, and picture yourselves in Portland, OR, hanging with the very people whose blogs you spend way too much time visiting each and every day. Actual face time! Actual actual conversations! Unbelievable, but I’m here to tell you it really happens!
