  • More Puppy Pics and Writing Links

    A while back, someone (maybe Andrea?) suggested that every Friday post have a picture of our black lab, Emma. If I wasn’t always misplacing my camera, that might work. Instead, I think I’ll have to settle for including a puppy pic or two in my link round-up posts. Sound good? Then here we go.
    Here’s Emma

  • Puppy Pics and Writing Links

    Thanks to everyone who commented on Wednesday’s post. It was great to hear your advice and encouragement, and to know that I’m not all alone in the muck! A couple of you said a change of scenery might help me get unstuck. Well what do you know? The husband and I are actually heading to

  • Writing Link Roundup

    I was planning on doing a world-building post today, but I don’t quite have all my thoughts in order yet, so it will have to wait until Friday. In the meantime, here are some writing links you might find useful.

  • Furry Muses and Some Writing Links

    If you follow me on Twitter, you might have heard me mention that my husband and I are looking to adopt a dog. Yes, it will be fun to have a furry friend to play catch with, but I’m also looking forward to having a writing mascot/muse. Several of my friends have told me how

  • WIP Update and Links

    Remember those rabbit battle cries last week? Well, they seem to be helping.  I’ve been making some progress with my revision, cutting and rearranging and adding. And as a reward, I’ve been allowing myself some time with the new draft (since shiny, new things are always more fun). I’m still struggling with the outline, but

  • One Conference, Two Books, and Four Writing Links

    I’m buried in grading final papers right now, so this is going to be a quick post. I did have a few things I wanted to share with you all.
    1. I’m going to NESCBWI this weekend! I was on the waiting list, but I got an email yesterday telling me that I’m in. If you’re

  • Friday Link Roundup

    Thank you to everyone who’s entered my 100 Followers Contest so far. I’ve gotten tons of great book suggestions (as if my reading list needs to be any longer). But the internet has been hopping with more than book giveaways this week. Here are a few helpful writing links I came across recently.

  • The Company of Writers

    First off, agent Mary Kole just started an interesting series on her blog where she’s critiquing submission excerpts line-by-line. It’s a great glimpse into how agents evaluate manuscripts.

    Now, I think I’ve mentioned before how lonely writing can be. Luckily, I have a writing date scheduled with my friend Alisa Libby today. Then we’re going to
