If you're looking for instant gratification….

This probably isn't the business for you. Or, it's not for you if you want to get paid for your work. I am constantly amazed by the number of people these days who will pay someone to publish their stories. And I can't say that I wouldn't have been tempted to do the same back when I was new and green and didn't know better. Fortunately, I stumbled onto RWA pretty quickly in my green days — and learned that money flows to the writer.

Any company that claims they will get your book in front ...

The blush of a new idea

It usually happens somewhere in the midst of the book I'm trying to finish on deadline. As my relationship with the current book grows rocky, a new idea comes along, seducing me with its attractiveness, its promise not to be difficult, and its possibilities. I want to stop writing the deadline book and write this book instead!

I never do.

Because, well, there's a deadline attached to the book I'm working on and an editor waiting for it. But I've turned in the deadline book, and now the...

Blogging with Kate Walker today

Hey, y'all! Today I'm over at the lovely Kate Walker's blog, talking about my favorite (or favourite, as Kate would say) Kate Walker book! Come on over and visit.

Swag giveaway – updated w/winner!

Y'all, I cleaned out my office on Saturday — okay, I started cleaning it out (it's going to take a while!) — and I ran across all this swag from conferences and reader luncheons. I don't need it, so I want to give it to you. There are bookmarks, postcards, buttons, gadgets, sample chapters, pens, a lanyard and other miscellaneous goodies. I'm tossing in one of my lovely tote bags to hold it all. Leave me a comment for a chance to win (you can say "I want the swag" if you can't think of...

The future of blogging

Periodically, I go through this on the blog where I ask whether or not it makes sense to keep blogging. It seems as if group blogs, for example, come and go these days. One group of critique partners or contest finalists or friends decides to start a blog. Another group reaches the end of the line and shuts down (the Wet Noodle Posse, for one).

What causes a blog to sputter to a close? Is it a lack of readers? A lack of new topics? A feeling you've trod that ground before?

I think it's ...
