Thanks to Eileen for bringing this to my attention. There’s a children’s book editor in NYC who’s working on a YA series she’s writing and wants some brainstorming help in developing the central conflict of the series. I encourage you to check it out and decide whether it’s something you’d like to contribute […]

Okay, boys, you’re excused from this one. Peruse the archives or something, because I need to have a serious chat with the ladies in the room.
Girls, what is up with the glamour shots on your professional websites? Do you really think that a blurred filter, eight pounds of costume jewelry, and a sequined v-neck evening […]

Many thanks to Miss Snark, who linked to Brenda Coulter’s post about a site that’s stealing content from her blog, No rules. Just write., and from many others and posting it without attribution or compensation, evidently after the victimized bloggers have requested that they stop. Check it out…

I’m back and exhausted. “Back from where, Kristen?” Back from the least relaxing vacay ever. I need a vacay from my vacay. (Note to self: Stop saying “vacay.”) I spent four and a half days a beach house just a minute’s walk from the ocean in Dewey Beach, DE, where […]

I’m so glad Miss Snark shared the link to this glaring error on the cover of an NYT bestseller.

I’m not sure what’s up with this blog meme tagging thing that just happened to me, but until I decide how I feel about it, I’ll just say, “Thanks, Dana!” and go along with it.
Here’s the deal: Someone “tags” you by sending you a template of sorts that they’ve already filled out on their blog […]

The woman behind me was peering at me.
“You look familiar,” she said. “Have we met?”
“You look kind of familiar, too,” I said. “Do you belong to Virginia Press Women?”
She didn’t.
“I know I’ve seen you somewhere,” she said. Pensive silence. “Do you have a blog?”
“Yeah, actually. Inkthinker?”
“That’s it! […]

Yesterday, I attended the half-day forum on connecting writers and resources in Virginia with my writer best friend at my side. We met there, went for breakfast beforehand, and sat together at the event. This was the first time I have ever attended a conference or forum that I wasn’t by myself. […]
