Hope this Thursday finds you well and happy. Thought it was time to share a round of writing goodies. Perhaps something will catch your eye. :)
MaryAnn Diorio was one of the first "official" writers I met through a writing group in New Jersey years ago. Her unfailing support, wisdom, and friendship have been a huge blessing to me. I invite you to check out her blog, where she shares great info, like this Wednesday Wisdom post on making a living from writing.
Historical fiction your thing? Check out David Gillham's 5 Tips for Writing Historical Fiction over at Chuck Sambuchino's Guide to Literary Agents.
Productivity problems? Carol Tice offers help in the form of One Simple Thing. Writers of any genre should be able to implement her handy advice, I'm thinking.
Working at home has its own set of "office" problems to tackle, don't you think? Tiny Twig offers insight on how to get the most out of the day in How to Work From Home.
Do you write for children? Check out the Young Adult Short Story Contest sponsored by Children's Writer. Grand prize is $500, but hurry, deadline to enter is October 31, 2102.
Run across any good resources lately? What are you up to this weekend?
Have a great weekend,
Karen

These are great, especially the "One Simple Thing." I'm always juggling so much and feel I never make any progress. This experiment sounds like an excellent thing to try.
ReplyDeleteTheresa,
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! Let me know if you enter! :)
Alex,
Yes, we do! She is a blessing!
Glenda,
You are welcome. Hope there's something helpful for you. :)
Laurel,
Glad you liked the info. I liked the One Simple Thing too. I need to employ that today! :)
Happy weekend,
Karen
Thanks for the links, Karen. Just read Carol Tice's One Simple Thing...so glad it wasn't like those advertisements where they lead you on but never actually tell you the "one simple thing." I'll keep her tip in mind. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat links, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like Mary Ann's information. I especially like "One Simple Thing" Carol Tice says it comes done to focus. Why has it taken me so long to realize that?
ReplyDeleteThis Sunday, our church is dedicating our expanded playground for the children. It is named for a dear lady who headed the board of trustees after the merger of two churches into our present church.
Great links, thank you Karen! I'm curious about the YA one.
ReplyDeleteLove your links! Anything we can do to help each other, right? Thank you, Karen
ReplyDeleteYou are so organized with your suggestions! Hope your weekend is good too!
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Yes, it is a real post, not an ad. :) I dislike those ads too!

I am steeped in football. We are heading north for another home game on Saturday. I love fall!

Talli,
I know, I just love autumn! It is my favorite season. :) Take care of little TR!

These are super links, Karen. I especially like the one about working from home. I'm guilty of not taking breaks and not getting out of the house once in a while. I tend to get lost in my work.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Jean
Thank you for the wonderful suggestions! I'm going to explore a bit...
ReplyDeleteBless you!
Jean,
ReplyDeleteThank you, glad you like them! I do that too sometimes - not enough breaks. Then sometimes there are too many breaks and tangents. :)
Cheryl,
You are welcome. Have fun with them! :)
Blessings,
Karen
I love your photo, Karen. We were out this weekend, enjoying the annual fall festival in town. The Apple Festival, along with the changing of the leaves, always heralds the beginning of autumn.
ReplyDeleteThat's where we were at, BTW, when you texted me. :):) Now, off to find that link you recommended.
Happy Monday, girl.
