Blogged a copy of my writing newsletter today. Which is cheating, I guess. Have been trying to keep mine more active, but now I find it has several threads, and in an insane world I should probably split them off into separate blogs ...

I made a writing post about doing some actual writing, but also some more thoughts on why it's still not completely working out.

I confessed to something and illustrated, yet again, why I have been voted DAD OF THE YEAR, by me, for the umpteenth consecutive year.
It's a gift.

A possibly controversial post about writers and the questions we ask in order to get things "right". Tried to be as even handed as possible though!
I updated my blog today with a sort of "What I learned at Novel Revision Camp" update.
And, in the next few days I'll be posting my review of a great Mother's Day read . . . Mothering Mother: A Daughter's Humorous and Heartbreaking Memoir http://www.amazon.com/dp/160164003X/?tag=absolutewritedm-20 Kunati Publishing http://www.kunati.com/

I don't usually blog twice in one day, but I got an interesting email from my agent today about a rejection from Berkley, and I had to express my thoughts.

My blog has been updated recently. Come check out my life-story. Honestly, it may read like fiction, but most of it is true. Stay tuned for updates.

I read an interesting article on line today from The New York Times, Are Book Reviewers Out of Print? http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/02/books/02revi.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1
After reading the following two quotes . . .
“While I’m all for the literary bloggers, and I think the more people that write about books the better, they’re not necessarily as regionally focused as knowledgeable, experienced long-term editors in the South or Midwest or anywhere where the most important writers come from,” said Sam Tanenhaus, the editor of The New York Times Book Review.
And then there was this quote from Richard Ford, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist. “Newspapers, by having institutional backing, have a responsible relationship not only to their publisher but to their readership,” Mr. Ford said, “in a way that some guy sitting in his basement in Terre Haute maybe doesn’t.”
. . . I was left with an overwhelming urge to post my very first book review J
Be forewarned; I am not as regionally focused as knowledgeable, experienced long-term editors in the South and Midwest. And, I am not some guy sitting in his basement in Terre Haute either. But, as Martha Steward would say that is probably a good thing.
