[Writer Post] Multi-Tasking…It’s What’s For Dinner
Wow. Okay, hi. It’s Wednesday. I’m deep into Time Management and Multi-Tasking Land. Why? Because I wrote a blog post about wanting/needing deadlines. I guess it’s kinda like praying for patience – you pray to be more patient, you get put into situations that require it. I committed to finishing a novel and sending it […]
[Writer Post] ConDFW, SFWA, and Distractions
Welcome to Writer Post Wednesday. This has been a Super-Squirrel Week. My focus has been…lacking. Part of it is coming down to the last show of my Winter Marathon (ConDFW starts in about 48 hours). Part of it is Texas Weather Roulette – last week ice and snow; this week, Spring. Go figure. Part of […]
[Writer Blog] Thanksgiving and SFWA Pro Rates
In the US, it’s Thanksgiving week, but no matter where you are, know that I’m thankful for all of you. Saw a link on Facebook today that SFWA has raised its pro-rate pay requirement, starting July 1, 2014, to 6 cents/word for short fiction (up from 5 cents/word). Woo. This after it’s been 9 years […]
[Writer Post] In Which I Wax Philosophical
Hello, Wednesday. How are you today? Me, I’m a bit cross-eyed from counting itty-bitty teeny tiny diamonds at my Day Job. I’ve been contemplating today’s topic. Waiting for that lightning bolt of inspiration to strike… and here we are. Nothing has happened today to equal “earth-shattering kaboom†– not that there should be earth shattering […]
[Writer Blog] Slacker Brain Plot Bunnies and Little Voices
There’s no good upheaval – well, new upheaval – in the publishing world this week. It helps let things settle, but makes it more difficult to come up with something to write about. And that’s not to mean the latest upheaval is over by any means, the Resnick/Malzberg/SFWA issue rages on degree of issue. Good […]
[Writer Post] The Current SFWA Kerfuffle
There’s been another kerfuffle in the Science Fiction world – this time with SFWA (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America). A couple of “Old Guard†wrote a piece for the Bulletin (the official publication for said group) that caused great consternation. John Scalzi, the current President of SFWA and a true class act, has […]
[Writer Post] The Perfect Storm of Circumstance
Well, huh. I almost totally forgot to do a writing blog this week. Bad Rhonda. It’s been a “perfect storm” of things this week. There’s helping out my niece with her wisdom teeth-ectomy. She’s doing great so far. And I’m prepping for ArmadilloCon, which I’m really looking forward to. Really, really looking forward to ArmadilloCon […]
IF I WERE ELIGIBLE FOR SFWA
If I were eligible to be a memeber of SFWA (which I am not…which is a LONG story)… I would whole-heartedly throw my support behind the John Scalzi ticket. If you are a voting member of SFWA, please consider also supporting this ticket.
