What I'm reading now—The Resilient Writer: Tales of Rejection and Triumph by 23 Top Authors

The Resilient WriterI have a stack (okay, several stacks!) of writing-related books on my nightstand that I have read several times but am not quite ready to move to the bookshelves in my office. 

And often, when I'm feeling frustrated, exasperated or just plain uncreative, I'll grab one and read a few pages before I go to sleep, hoping that something will help, or at least, make me feel like I am not the only writer dealing with that particular problem.

What I’m reading now: The Writing Life—Writers on how they think and work

Let your business vision drive who you become—Guest post from Paul Lima

Sometimes we writers aren't exactly sure who we are. Or maybe it's who we are supposed to be. Writers—sure, that's a given. But should we also be 
Authors?
Presenters?Journalists?Copywriters? And then there is the why of it. Are we choosing our role because that's the the one that brings in the cash or the credits (or, if we're lucky, both!) or because it's part of a well-thought-out business plan? 

And are we doing what we want to do or what we only think we want to do? (Questions,...
