http://mamaneedsabookcontract.blogspot.com/2009/04/forget-celebrating-strunk-white.html
Monday, April 13, 2009. Forget Celebrating Strunk and White. Posted by Linda Sherwood. April 16 is the 50th anniversary of that little grammar guide, Strunk and White's The Elements of Style. But should writers celebrate? One writer and professor, Geoffrey K. Pullum ,. The Chronicle of Higher Ed's web site is a subscription-based site, but here is the link to Pullum's article titled, " 50 Years of Stupid Grammar Advice. By Jan Freeman titled, " Frankenstrunk. Strong words: "idiosyncratic bumblers! S&W di...

Thursday, July 2, 2009. Finally, finally, finally. I'm holding it in my hand. my first. In case you are wondering. I sold this book in October 2007. That's a 20 month gestation period. July 2, 2009 at 7:07 PM. July 3, 2009 at 1:24 PM. I dont get why people refer to books as babies though (I can see the hard work part, but once the book is written, isnt that it - no more nuture and shaping, unless the world around it evolves? Might be a good topic of discussion for the blog? July 6, 2009 at 3:48 AM. There...

Mama Needs A Book Contract: July 2009
http://mamaneedsabookcontract.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2009. Growing into my very geeky job. When this blog first started I'd *just* been accepted into a University course in Creative writing and Criminology. I dropped the 'criminology' part, and focussed, instead, on Psychology for the five 'spare slots' that I had. That was just under two years ago - and last year, around this time, I finally worked out what I wanted to do when I graduated. How's your summer looking? The writer in me. The writing I love. Thursday, July 2, 2009. Is a freel...

Mama Needs A Book Contract: Birthin' a Book & Lessons Learned
http://mamaneedsabookcontract.blogspot.com/2009/08/birthin-book-lessons-learned.html
Saturday, August 1, 2009. Birthin' a Book and Lessons Learned. A few weeks ago Kai and I were discussing "having a baby" and "writing/publishing a book". She asked about why I made the analogy about birthing a baby and a book. So here is a little more discussion on that topic. Let's see how we make a baby. (Sorry, no videos for this one! Girl meets Boy and They Fall In Love. They Get Married (hey, its my analogy so we're going down the traditional path! They have a honeymoon and love each other A LOT.

Anu in Blogland: ESC 2007
http://anu500.blogspot.com/2007/05/esc-2007.html
My thoughts and interests. Things I've learned. Tuesday, May 15, 2007. The Eurovision Song Contest was held this year in Helsinki, and what a wonderful job we did with it! The show was brilliant, and the overall quality of songs was quite good. I'm slightly tired of it all right now, but I just want to say that I absolutely loved the winner Marija Serifovic and her song Molitva. So here it is:. There's also ESC Webradio. On the web, so you can watch the whole final, if you want to. Posted by Anu @ 02:20.

Mama Needs A Book Contract: Touch Typing Typical?
http://mamaneedsabookcontract.blogspot.com/2009/03/touch-typing-typical.html
Monday, March 2, 2009. Posted by Linda Sherwood. I am a touch typist, which means I can type without looking at the keyboard. It has been years since my typing skills have been timed, but I suspect that I am well over 100 words per minute for typing, and pretty close to that when I compose as well. But I wonder if I am the norm among writers? Are most writers touch typists? Or am I strange? And am I *really* a touch typist? I know it wasn't that long ago that I read a post by Jenny Crusie. I am a Writer.

http://anu500.blogspot.com/2007/07/too-much-singing-in-rain.html
My thoughts and interests. Things I've learned. Monday, July 16, 2007. Too much singing in the rain". I think their new album. And did you know that Pete Townshend. Posted by Anu @ 14:25. I'm curious about what goes on in the world. Just about everything that exists (or can be imagined) is interesting, but usually I prefer to keep my distance, so I'm more of an observer than a participant. View my complete profile.

Anu in Blogland: July 2006
http://anu500.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
My thoughts and interests. Things I've learned. Wednesday, July 26, 2006. I've studied three years of Chinese, but I've forgotten just about everything I've learned. I never learned enough that it would've been useful for much anything, but I have a thing for languages. I think it's kind of magical that you can scribble something on a piece of paper and it actually means. Something. I never get tired of wondering that basic thing. Written words fascinate me.
