Valerie Ipson shared this fun post by Dan Berstein on The Barnes & Noble Review about what you're really doing when you think you're sitting down to write.
It's worth the read and should give you a guilty smile.
Book Giveaway
I won a couple of kewl prizes over at Laura Josephsen's blog for the Favorite Character Blogfest (it was random rather than competitive). The first was a ten-page critique by Melanie Billings at Whiskey Creek Press, so I'm excited.
I also won an ebook copy of Laura's book Confessions from the Realm of the Underworld (Also Known as High School). You can read what I thought of this book here. Hint: I LOVED it!
Since I already own the paper copy, I'm going to give away my ebook prize to one of you. All you have to do is be a follower of my blog and note in your comment below that you're interested in being part of the drawing. I'll announce the winner on Monday.
However, you might also want to note that Laura's getting ready to launch her next book, Rising (Part 1 Resistance). I'm reading this book right now and loving it.
Don't forget to post a comment with your email address if you'd like to have your name put in for the drawing.
That was a great article, very amusing. Suddenly, I have a thirst for seltzer...but I get the lime-flavored kind, so I don't need to buy the lime.
ReplyDeleteAs I am a Luddite who has no e-reader, you don't have to put me in the contest. Enjoy your day!
I like the title of the book you're giving away - that's how I remember high school.
ReplyDeleteI just got an ereader and am super happy about my life. I need to read the article but I have found I'm getting better at writing when I say I'm writing :)

ReplyDeleteThis is a question we used to ask a lot in grad school, and frankly I still don't; have an answer. I think writing involves a lot of unconscious though being poured out on paper, but I'm still working on it myself:)
ReplyDeleteTwo things for me to check out!
ReplyDeleteSeltzer. And celebratory cups of pudding. That's what I've been missing all this time? Why am I just now finding out about this???
ReplyDeleteI am entering to win the e-book copy of Confessions from the Realm of the Underworld with the hopes that my husband listened to all my nagging about giving me a Kindle Fire for my birthday. : )
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity!

ReplyDeleteJust wanted to stop by to say hello and see what you're up to. Haven't bought a reader yet...oh well.:)
ReplyDeleteI think I am writing now, but after ten minutes I thought I should read a few blog post. Let's see if I keep myself to my self imposed 30 minute rule. (Unlikely)
