http://willwrite4cake.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Will Write for Cake. A SWEET BLOG ABOUT THE WRITING LIFE. Monday, October 11, 2010. Dude Talks Like a Lady. I know you writers- ideally you'd stay home all day without letting things like pesky day jobs get in the way of your creative genius, right? But think about what you know or what you've learned because of your day jobs. Anything that helps with your writing? The same day, even.

Will Write for Cake. A SWEET BLOG ABOUT THE WRITING LIFE. Wednesday, February 9, 2011. Eleven - it's one more than Ten. I've fretted over this post now for a few weeks.

Will Write for Cake. A SWEET BLOG ABOUT THE WRITING LIFE. Friday, February 25, 2011. Is there anything more precious than a young child's mind? Everything is brand new! From a Jack-in-the-box to a dinosaur story, from a robin's egg to counting pennies, from a wiggly worm to falling snowflakes, the world is amazing and full of wonderful experiences. When I first taught kindergarten Sesame Street was controversial! But then the viewpoint changed. Kids loved it! And adults found out they liked it, too!

Will Write for Cake. A SWEET BLOG ABOUT THE WRITING LIFE. Tuesday, February 8, 2011. Twitter Tutorial: The Long Version. If you don’t have an account yet, go to twitter.com. Retweeting is a way to copy what someone else said while still giving credit for it. If you see a tweet that’s funny or interesting, you may want to retweet it for your followers or for anyone who didn’t see it before. Suppose my imaginary friend @HoustonAuthor tweeted this:. Just got a 6-figure book deal! An @reply is a way of sayin...

Will Write for Cake. A SWEET BLOG ABOUT THE WRITING LIFE. Saturday, November 20, 2010. Revising With Chocolate And Pirates. I'm sure everyone's been to those workshops or conferences that are just okay- the speakers are good, and you pick up one or two things you might use in your writing. Or a few days later you tell someone it was a good workshop, but you can't think of anything specific you learned. Nothing like what we went to last weekend. Three of us Cakers- Christina, Laura and &- attended. The sc...

Will Write for Cake. A SWEET BLOG ABOUT THE WRITING LIFE. Monday, May 31, 2010. Do Not Let Your Left Brain Know What Your Right Brain Is Doing. I imagine my main character knocking on my window and saying, "Helloooooo.remember me? You left me sitting in the car.". So that's nice. Back to the middle. So I took out my copy of Writing on Both Sides of the Brain. By Henriette Anne Klauser. I should get online and research rutabaga recipes to get ideas for what they might serve!
