1. Kristina McMorris
guest posts at Writer
Unboxed on the subject of Stereotypical Perspectives. She gives great
advice on incorporating characteristics based on common knowledge. I think
you'll find this article thought provoking and a good balance between showing
reality and the desire to avoid offense.
2. I've written for
anthologies, and I know many of you have as well. Susan Spann posts at Writers
In The Storm on the subject of, "Show Me The Money: Royalties in
Anthology Contracts." She defines certain terms and gives examples of
contract language.
3. Whether we're
writers or not, we all face deadlines. I came across this blog post by Carol
Garvin on the subject. The insights she gives crystallized some thoughts
for me.
4. You'd have to be
totally cut off from TV and the Internet not to hear the growing debate on
immigration. This article by the Family Research
Council gives a logical, sane view and frames the debate from an
ideological perspective. I highly recommend it.
5. We've landed! On
the moon - yes, but that was a long time ago. No, I'm referring to 2016, a New
Year.
Along with the New Year comes time management challenges.
Jeanette Levellie released her new book, Shock the Clock, the middle of
December 2015.
Why do we need this type of advice? If everything stayed on
a neat schedule, we could do this with our eyes closed. Unfortunately, it's
like hitting a moving target. Just when you think you've got everything figured
out, a tire goes flat or Junior breaks a leg.
Check out this interview at Write
Now and her new book.
Writers: What kind of
issues derail your writing time?
Readers: Do you set
goals for the New Year? Please share.
