Saturday Morning Post 3.21.09
Perhaps we should call this the Weekend Edition, yes? The reasons for this should become clear in Monday’s post.
For any writer needing a boot to the arse, my friend Anthony delivers one of stellar proportions. I think he’s been reading my mail or something. The tone is serious and pointed. The message is vital.
Put Things Off talks about the End of Free Content. It’s a topic of interest to anyone who is watching the future of publishing.
Something interesting from Broadcasting Brain… the idea of cooperatively building a list of surplus ideas.
Lateral Action gives a list of advantages for using voice recognition. I find it an interesting conversation since I find having to speak my words slows me down, rather than his experience. It is a good conversation as technology continues to advance and change the lives of writers everywhere.
Alex has a wonderful post on entering the dialog…life is a dialog, and if we don’t participate, we have added nothing.
Brad’s Reader gives you a great glimpse of the same writing laboratory I use, and shares thoughts on creating unique fictional characters.
Erica Orloff’s view of writing as sacred is beautiful.
If stagnation is a problem, Cheryl gives you six suggestions for moving beyond it.
James looks at the dream of writing.
Three bloggers I really enjoy have gotten together with others to form Adventures in Creative Writing. This is the fifth collaboration of bloggers I’ve seen in several months. I think I’m a little greenish…
And for more:
Terri Tiffany shares a little secret.
Write for Your Life: free ebook and interesting topic.
How Not to Write posted the Hugo Awards.
Creative Writing Corner: Adding parallel story lines.
Halfway through my reader and the blogs I skim and read for good information and I have to stop, now. More explanations in tomorrow’s post.
Have a great week!
I’m enjoying the Adventures in Creative Writing blog. It looks like it’ll be great. Thanks for all the links!
Thanks for stopping by Broadcasting Brain!
Hi BJ,
So sweet of you to include my post on your list. Thanks.
I’d like to point out my entry to help out my friend with a competition to put $10,000 towards her dream.

I really need to do a post of shoutouts to SO many cool people and cool things I’ve run across. (Including you and your blog, which is very much deserving)
Perhaps I’ll schedule on for next week.
Keep up the great work and don’t forget to do you writing everyday!
@Lady Glamis Pretty neat, isn’t it?
@Mark Thanks for the great post!
@Cheryl Any time, my friend.
@Matthew Had to dig it out of the moderation queue (not sure why). Posted now, and I’ll be visiting.

And I am writing daily.
Thanks for adding a link to my blog!
