Fiction Scribe

I usually leave Scribe Notes for Mondays because Mondays are usually the days I feel a bit too scattered to settle down into a traditional post. However, I have so many random tidbits running around in my head that I feel the need for a notes day today.

*I’m finally on the Wordle train and have created a fun graphic for Fiction Scribe. You can click on the picture and it will take you to the bigger version. I am amused about “Frank” and “Treasure”. Awww.

*I am pretty much covered for guest posts while I’m away at Conflux at the beginning of October. However, I am more than happy to have more guest posts. Let me know if you’re interested. The deadline for getting posts to me is the 22nd, as I’m going to have a monstrous amount of things to do the week before I leave.

*Speaking of Conflux, someone - obviously in a drunken state - has decided that I would be good on not only one, but two panels. Not only that, I’ve been asked to chair one of the discussions. So book your flights for Canberra now if you would like to see me sitting in front of people feeling terrified.

*Having never been in a Starbucks myself, I’m curious - how many of you are Starbucks writers?

*You’re too late to register for The Muse Online Writers Conference, but if you have already signed up, let me know. I’m curious about what everyone is looking forward to.

*And finally, here is a video featuring novelist Amy Tan at the TED Talks. In this video she talks about the creative process, where creativity comes from, her experiences and how they translate into what she has written, and more. Enjoy.

Today I have an assortment of links and videos for your pleasure. Enjoy and best of luck if you are entering in any of the contests.

Speaking of, if you would like to be featured with a guest post (linking to your site), I am looking for people to help cover my time away in the beginning of October. Email me with your post idea(s) and we’ll talk. I’m looking to cover the first ten or so days of October, so there are plenty of opportunities!

And that is it for the day. Have a good one.
