Writer's Playground: December 2013
http://lindatalisman.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
By Linda Talisman and friends. Tuesday, December 03, 2013. New way of doing things. Having posted "A Singular Being" to this blog marks me wanting and finding new ways to do things. I am more interested in finding readership than in getting the kudos involved in publishing, and the traditional publishing industry. It is sort of outmoded isn't it? Submitting manuscripts eternally to magazines, agents and publishing houses, accumulating a stack of rejections? In any case, I did NANOWRIMO. Its author has ha...

Writer's Playground: September 2011
http://lindatalisman.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
By Linda Talisman and friends. Thursday, September 22, 2011. Yes, even the New Yorker can sometimes behave like a black hole. Here is the New Yorker. S entry on the black hole. Still waiting for reply? This includes 2 "data points" I submitted, the 2010 one and the "still waiting" one. My 2 bring it up to a grand total of 6. (Analog has 99.) The 125 days "data point", along with the 93 days one, shows that they don't always respond within 90 days. So now it's back to the waiting game. Links to this post.

By Linda Talisman and friends. Tuesday, August 27, 2013. Here's something I wrote about 6 months ago, to be followed by a current status update:. Sunday, January 27, 2013.

By Linda Talisman and friends. Friday, May 20, 2011. Saw Mattie Stepanek on Oprah, and I thought of the role of muscular dystrophy in That and a Token. After I thought the novel should touch on disability in some way I decided to write about muscular dystrophy. I definitely didn't want to write about the disease I have. I have to focus on that way more than I want to in real life! It had to be something else. Links to this post. A Singular Being" was rejected by THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY and SCIENCE FICTIO...
