Welcome to the March 3, 2008 edition of Scribes. Yes, it’s that time again. We have another lovely round of submissions to the carnival as well as the announcement of who won the Friday Fun comment/meme contest.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this carnival as well as everyone who played the Friday game. It was a lot of fun and I hope to do it again soon.

How-To

Rebecca Suzanne Dean presents How To Research 5 Times Faster posted at Rebecca Dean.

Charles H. Green presents Aristotle, Maister, and the Fat Smoker posted at Trust Matters, saying, “The old writers advice is to draw from your own experience. That’s what author David Maister did, starting with the fact that he’d been a fat smoker for almost all his life.”

Publishing

Cheryl Snell presents Shiva’s Arms: Saraswati posted at FeedBulletin for: financialbullet, saying, “The backdrop of my new novel, Shiva’s Arms, includes Hindu festivals. The worship of the goddess of learning is one; her birthday, Vasant Panchami, will be celebrated this week.”

Writing

Alexander Kohl presents Writing for a Living | Freelance Writing Career posted at Freelance Writing Career.

Carol Bentley presents How appealing are you posted at Carol Bentley.

CG Walters presents Spirit Story…an Old Genre Reawakening posted at Into the Mist, saying, “A path of communication with the subconscious—as opposed to a communication with the conscious mind—is alive, more a communion between the personal subconscious and the Collective Consciousness, possibly awakening or speaking to the personal consciousness a little along the way.”

Jade Blackwater presents Feature Artist Interview - Lisa D. Kastner posted at Brainripples, saying, “Brainripples shares a Feature Artist Interview with writer Lisa D. Kastner of the Rittenhouse area of Philadelphia, PA. Lisa Kastner writes fiction, and is currently shopping her psychological thriller novel “Jersey Diner”.”

And now, the moment you have all been waiting for…

Last Friday I invited you to participate in a meme for your chance to win Lirael by Garth Nix with the promise the winner would be announced today.

I am pleased to announce that I put all the entrants names in a hat and drew Sandra’s name! Congratulations, Sandra. You have won a book along with a couple other Aussie goodies.

Thank you to everyone who participated. It was a lot of fun and I hope to do it again soon.

That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of scribes using our carnival submission form.

Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.
