1. Getting an agent
is akin to grasping the brass ring. So many publishers require agents to submit
manuscripts. Rachel Pieh Jones posted at Jane Friedman's blog about,
"What Happened After I Lost My Agent - Twice." This article gives
specific suggestions on how to handle rejection, including our attitudes toward
our writing and ourselves. (You'll see from our devotional below the tie-in. I
needed this, and I'm sure many others do as well.)
2. Zoe
M. McCarthy talks about introducing scents into stories. Her posts always
give me great ideas.
3. WND reports on a
judge's ruling that The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania forfeiture records are
subject to the Right
to Know Law. The government can take - yes, TAKE - property and money even
if no criminal charges are filed. This is definitely a must-read article.
4. Beth K. Vogt posts
an encouraging word at The
Write Conversation. While it's geared toward writers, the principles apply
to everyone. What kind of words are you speaking - strong ones or weak ones?
5. Winter is fast
approaching. You can have fresh herbs by growing them indoors in pots. Check
out this post at Easy Balcony Gardening for instructions.
Writers: Which
writing post resonated with you? Please share.
Readers: Do you have
an indoor garden during the winter (things you'd normally grow outside in good
weather)? Please share what types of plants you select. I'm especially
interested in saving the beautiful geranium that graced my porch all summer.
