Composition Book: Heather Hedin Singh's writing blog: Subject: Quantity vs. Quality
http://heatherhedinsingh.blogspot.com/2010/01/subject-quantity-vs-quality.html
January 16, 2010. Subject: Quantity vs. Quality. This month, we’re reading a fun collection of short stories, Geektastic. As well as hosting a short story writing challenge. Somewhat coincidentally, writing short stories dovetails nicely with one of my own personal writing goals for 2010, writing short. Sometimes, it’s easy to get lost.

Best of the Blather. What Have I Missed? Monday, April 8, 2013. I started Bookish Blather back in December of 2008 with a few motivations:. Underemployed and almost alone in a new city, I was reading more than ever and wanted a personalized way to track my thoughts. Create an online portfolio proving my interest in and knowledge of young adult literature while I was trying to find employment in the publishing industry. Diversion Books on Twitter. Diversion Books on Facebook. Diversion Books on Google.

http://bookishblather.blogspot.com/p/review-policy.html
Best of the Blather. What Have I Missed? I am happy and honored to accept books, ARCs and galleys for review from publishers, authors and publicists. What I love to read:. What I don't read:. There actually aren't any genres that I can immediately dismiss, as there's usually at least one title in every genre that I enjoy in some way, but romance and paranormal romance especially are low on my interest list unless it addresses one of my favorite issues as described above. What are my reviews like? I revie...
