Snippets: Balancing Work and Writing? →
courtneykeene:
So I’ve been working on the same novel for 8 years.
The details have changed of course - I’ve even had Mena help me develop and write it - but the point is this: In 2004 I wrote out a one-page novel idea and in 8 years it’s not been finished.
I think every writer probably has one of these. It’s…
I’ll weigh on this because I find more and more that it’s harder...

My little brother got into outer space and stuff so my step-mom bought him a place mat with all the planets on it. When I first saw it, I was upset, because it was newer and so Pluto wasn’t labeled. I was about to say something when I noticed something…
Pluto is there.
The artist remembered Pluto.
Guys…
The artist drew Pluto crying.

Seriously? He didn’t get that one? O.o

Check to make sure your safe dashboard is off? Sometimes is clicks on for me. o no
I don’t think I even have safe dash on - but it’s everything, even avatars. I think something is just hosed. Even when I use my phone and no wireless, so maybe it’s just a lousy server connection...
Bleah - I don’t know what’s going on with Tumblr, but I can’t see any pictures. :(
Nothing but white squares everywhere….

I can’t decide if I’m allowed to be angry or if I should just stick with disappointed. Suppose I’ll be professional and just keep my mouth shut.

I just got an email asking if I’d like to pay $50 to put my work in a publication and I’m so glad that I’ve gained the skills and knowledge to know that publications should be paying me to include my stuff.
Remember, everybody, publishers pay YOU, not the other way around. You don’t need “exposure” like that.
