The Cabin
We crawled along the ground to find it ...
Artist Date or Field Trip:
Halloween is just around the corner. Do you plan for it early? Late? Not at all? Go visit a retailer and study the Halloween displays. What does it say about your neighbors?
Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)
George Ade in his Fables in Slang wrote, "After being Turned Down by numerous Publishers, he had decided to write for Posterity."
INKDrop:
Most everything I write these days will probably be for Posterity. It's my favorite publishing company since they joyfully accept everything I do. With the literary and book publishing world changing so quickly, traditional publishing seems more and more like an anachronism each day. How do you decide what is worth sending to an editor, and what do you decide to drop onto a website or blog and offer up to the world for free?

Join Second Life (it's free) and check out the INKsters group there for more virtual inspiration and literary camaraderie. NaNoWriMo is coming!! Go sign up! (It's free too, except it will take your soul).
Competition idea: Grab a literate friend or two, agree on the topic today, and write. Maybe 1000 characters (fits in your cell phone notepad), or 500 words (our gold standard), or longer. Then share your work with somebody and ask them to select their favorite effort from today. You might be surprised how much you love winning (or hate losing).
And stop by our old home page and see if we've managed to catch up.
