Sometimes it takes a nudge. And some good advice. And an encouraging nod. And butt-in-chair. I am beyond thrilled to be mentioned in Jane Friedman’s blog: Being Human at Electric Speed>>Media Professor + Speaker : 3 Reasons to Have a Website If You’re Unpublished http://janefriedman.com/2011/11/28/website-for-unpublished/ If I am very still, I can hear it. A [...]

One person’s humor can be another person’s yawn. One person’s proud can be someone else’s embarrassment. On either side of the fence, I find that most things in life are not as they appear on the surface, because there exists the chapters before and the chapters not yet written, and all we see is a [...]

New year, new look. Inspired by a recent post from Jane Friedman of Writer’s Digest, I did a little cyber redecorating again. Her guest post, “5 Things That Make Me Stop Reading Websites and Blogs” appeared on the blog Writer Unboxed. In it, she outlines a few easy blog fixes that can help ensure an [...]

In December, I attended a Writer’s Digest Editor’s Intensive event. I found it extremely helpful and informative. Jane Friedman, the Publisher and Editorial Director of Writer’s Digest, did an extraordinary thing for me today: she quoted a letter I wrote about that experience, and included a link to jane, candid in her blog There Are [...]

OK, so, not one to rush into the 21st century, I am finally poking around to see what Facebook is all about. And, um, blogs. I was inspired by the speakers at a recent Writer’s Digest conference in Cincinnati. Jane Friedman (great speaker, by the way) stressed the importance of creating an online presence, a [...]
welcome to jane, candid
