What I’m Reading

by

coffee.jpgAs I’ve said in the past, quoting a quote that is somewhere in the chaos of my desk, you have to make time for things because you’ll never ‘find’ time. Well, I’ve made time for more blog reading, and I have come across some interesting posts.

I’ve also decided to add an ‘E-Publishing’ category, as there is no doubt readers here will consider e-publishing as a possible publication route just as much as they consider traditional publishing or self-publishing.

On to the good reads!

*InkyGirl has a fantastic category on her blog called Rejections, which features famous authors and how many times they were rejected before getting published. This is a sure category to help build the confidence of aspiring writers.

*Paperback Writer touches on the subjects of writer superstitions and rituals (a subject I’ll probably post on later), and things she avoids putting in her stories. Are there any things you avoid writing about in your stories?

*Nice Mommy~Evil Editor has put out an informal call for submissions, so if you have a holiday-themed story, head over to this post for further details.

*Dear Author has a poll regarding e-publishing and the results may surprise you. How many readers have bought an e-published book?

*EcataRomance asks if ebook publishing is a bad career choice…

*Have I mentioned Query Shark before? If you’re looking to submit a query any time soon, I highly suggest you go through the Query Shark archives - run by an actual agent - and give your query a professional polish before sending it in.
