About Beg, Borrow, Steal - a Writer's Life (Michael Greenberg, Other Press)

In other news... Nathan Bransford is having another FABULOUS FIRST PARAGRAPH CONTEST. The man's insane - already 500+ entries on day 1.
The Reading... Have I told you how much I love, love, love GRAVITY'S RAINBOW by Thomas Pynchon? Amazing book. I don't 'get it' all the time, but it is an amazing work of art. Yes, I said art. Magnifico! I'll be at it for a few more weeks.
The Writing... Just finished METHOD WRITING short course by Jordan Rosenfeld. If you have a chance to take one of her courses, do - it is time and money well spent. NaNoWriMo starts in 19 days (!!!!!). I'm looking forward to 30 days of prose insanity. Buddy me (drwasy). Meanwhile, I'm mucking around with some shorts, some poems, BRIGHTER THAN BRIGHT, all distractions before I plunge again into PURE in a few days.
Life is full... outta here for a few days for basic training (the day job).
Peace, Linda

An interesting article on why we don't need literary agents or publishers anymore.

I'm baaaaack.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are plugging away still, friend Linda. You and Kimber are an inspiration to ... well, I'll speak for myself. An inspiration to me. How you keep plugging away. Your excuses for slacking off are 10 times better than mine, but you keep going.
Looking forward to taking one of Jordan's classes. You're not the only one who has said nice things.
