LitBlitz: July 2004
http://litblitz.blogspot.com/2004_07_01_archive.html
Literary rants for starving writers and voracious readers. Saturday, July 31, 2004. So, how did I spend my Friday night, completely exhausted and in a fog from the work week? Odd, but I finished a story that I started earlier this week. Which reminds me, I have another that I have started and abandoned. I usually write linearly - I usually don't start another story till I'm done with the first. It might tell me that other one just doesn't have the muse. Is it depressing, this one that just got "done"?

LitBlitz: Something We Forgot To Do
http://litblitz.blogspot.com/2008/09/something-we-forgot-to-do.html
Literary rants for starving writers and voracious readers. Thursday, September 11, 2008. Something We Forgot To Do. Thanks to HarperCollins, I now know what many of us have forgotten to do all along in pursuing our goals to become published authors. We forgot to get on TV! Okay, I don't watch The Hills. But one might now think maybe it's a veritable breeding ground for publishing achievement. I ran across a Reuters article saying The Hills. Ohhh based on her own life, no less! Somebody please help me.

LitBlitz: Not So Literary
http://litblitz.blogspot.com/2008/09/not-so-literary.html
Literary rants for starving writers and voracious readers. Tuesday, September 09, 2008. This isn't literary at all. I was recently looking around for an e-card for a friend's birthday. (I'm bad with birthdays too, but occasionally remember them, sigh.) And I just recalled how so many e-greeting sites are just horrendously awful, insipid, so sweet your skin might exfoliate from even coming into contact with so much sugar. Is my friend going to think I'm that cheesy. But come on, there's a market, I'm sure...

LitBlitz: Book Swapping
http://litblitz.blogspot.com/2008/09/book-swapping.html
Literary rants for starving writers and voracious readers. Wednesday, September 17, 2008. Hey, the economy's pretty lame, so it's cool that there are tons of options to swap books or get books on the cheap, or even leave books on a bench or airport somewhere for somebody else to enjoy, according to this AP article. Of course, there's always the library. Who knows. One thing I do know, though, speaking of digital media, is I really. Posted by LadyLitBlitzin at 7:42 PM. View my complete profile.

LitBlitz: The Art of No
http://litblitz.blogspot.com/2008/10/art-of-no.html
Literary rants for starving writers and voracious readers. Tuesday, October 07, 2008. The Art of No. Ah, the rejection letters. We writers dread them while expecting them, sometimes wish they'd come sooner (why have I been waiting a year, but maybe it's a good. Or maybe it's just lost) or wish they'd come later (you rejected me in ONE lousy day, you thought it was that. Here's a very good essay that speaks very eloquently on the topic, No, by Brian Doyle. Featured in the Spring 2008 issue of Kenyon Review.

LitBlitz: April 2005
http://litblitz.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
Literary rants for starving writers and voracious readers. Saturday, April 30, 2005. A DC State of Mind. Yeah, I'm lame, I've been reading Gargoyle. For months now. My reading rate is so slow between work, my iPod, and now some friends of mine have gotten me into a multiplayer game on the Internet. and I told you guys before that I'm trying to squeeze working out at the gym into my mostly sedentary regimen so I guess reading has fallen by the wayside. I know, for a writer, that's pretty awful. Thursday, ...

LitBlitz: Scary Summer Reading
http://litblitz.blogspot.com/2008/10/scary-summer-reading.html
Literary rants for starving writers and voracious readers. Saturday, October 04, 2008. Halloween's right around the corner, so I thought I'd talk about a couple chillers I read over the summer. I should probably admit that both book choices were actually motivated by having seen the movies. That might be a little bit sad, but hey, it's just the truth. The other time was Blair Witch Project. With these vines, anyway? Posted by LadyLitBlitzin at 5:38 PM. View my complete profile. Something We Forgot To Do.

LitBlitz: October 2004
http://litblitz.blogspot.com/2004_10_01_archive.html
Literary rants for starving writers and voracious readers. Saturday, October 30, 2004. Well, it's not quite Halloween. But I do have a party to go to tonight, so it might as well be. I wish it wasn't so blasted HOT though. What kind of Halloween is hot and muggy? As for that story's fate, it never got published. I tried it with both straight-up horror zines as well as literary magazines (it got a personal rejection from Richard Peabody over at Gargoyle. In that rejection, though). I toil on a (sadly) anc...

LitBlitz: August 2004
http://litblitz.blogspot.com/2004_08_01_archive.html
Literary rants for starving writers and voracious readers. Tuesday, August 31, 2004. Cool Question of the Day. The August issue of Wired. Asked a very interesting question. "Would Moby Dick. Be better if Melville used a word processor? There were 3 answers from 3 "experts." For example, Lynne Truss (author of Eats, Shoots and Leaves. Personally, I think today's way is a much better way to write. Of course, it doesn't excuse people from remembering how to spell or use grammar properly. Maybe it's ...It wa...
