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.

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.

Mama Needs A Book Contract: Optimism
http://mamaneedsabookcontract.blogspot.com/2009/05/optimism.html
Sunday, May 10, 2009. Just finished watching a documentary with Michael J Fox and his take on optimism. It was quite inspiring because he's simply an uplifting, beautiful person. I'm sure he has his dark moments, but overall, this is a guy who has taken what many might see as a death sentence and turn it into something to work towards. I recently purchased his book, Always Looking Up, but I haven't had the chance to read it just yet.). Do we keep pitching book proposals despite the lack of response?
