Mary Akers: The Next Big Thing
http://maryakers.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-next-big-thing.html
This blog title reflects my choking under naming pressure more than my ego. Wednesday, January 02, 2013. The Next Big Thing. Big thanks to the fabulous Ellen Meister. For tagging me in this latest writer's meme. I am so looking forward to reading her forthcoming novel Farewell, Dorothy Parker. Which has been described as "wickedly funny and surprisingly poignant.". And now, on with the questions for me:. What is the working title of your book? Bones of an Inland Sea. What genre does your book fall under?

Mary Akers: April 2012
http://maryakers.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
This blog title reflects my choking under naming pressure more than my ego. Friday, April 13, 2012. Rejections: A view from the other side of the desk. First and foremost, I am a writer. But I have also been Editor-in-chief of the online journal r.kv.r.y. For about a year and a half now. It's been a wonderful, enriching, exhausting, eye-opening experience. So much so, that I thought it might be valuable to share some of what I've learned from my time spent on the other side of the desk. Well, guess what?

This blog title reflects my choking under naming pressure more than my ego. Thursday, January 10, 2013. Anatomy of a Ten-Day Writer's Residency. After a two-and-a-half hour drive from my Mom's house in Floyd, Virginia, I'm here! I read all through the packet, but couldn't find my room anywhere on the map. I was walking all around looking for it, and I found the grounds guy and said, "Can you tell me where WS11 is? The weather is fabulous and it's time for me to get to work, lucky, lucky, lucky girl.

This blog title reflects my choking under naming pressure more than my ego. Friday, January 13, 2012. Cliff Garstang has a great post about keeping hope alive as a writer: Don't Give Up! Truly, mental fortitude in the writing business is as important as the writing itself, especially in the beginning. As Fred Leebron counseled us during our MFA program, "Writing is a game of attrition. Don't attrish.". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Women Up On Blocks. Blogs and websites I frequent.
