Writing-related resources, news, and reflections to enjoy over the weekend.
Yes, some of us are still catching up on the AWP recaps! Me, for instance. Really appreciated this post from Leah Falk/MFA Day Job, including “something like a top five list from the conference for writers with day jobs or searching for day jobs.”
Over on the Poetry Has Value site, Jessica Piazza shares her April stats, including money spent/money earned.
Since I sometimes become a little tired of parent-writers complaining about how difficult it is to write and parent, I found this post on the Writer Abroad site—“5 Reasons Becoming a Parent Makes You a Better Writer”—to be a refreshing find.
Still trying to get the hang of hashtags? Hashtags.org might be able to help you out. (via @JaneFriedman)
And speaking of hashtags: I’ll leave you with a Twitter comment that may make you re-think the use of “#amwriting”. It made me chuckle, at any rate.
Have a great weekend, everyone.
In Leah Falk’s post I love that she writes “Be gentle with yourself during this time.”
Yes–so important!
