Writing-related resources, news, and reflections to enjoy over the weekend.
In case any of us might need to be reminded, David Ebenbach explains that “being an artist doesn’t mean you get to be a lousy person.”
Karen Craigo wonders, “Do contests prey on the vulnerable?”
Jane Friedman outlines “the pros and cons of using a Facebook profile but not an official page.” (Side note: If I were starting my Facebook life anew, I’d probably stick with the Facebook profile and not launch an official page. But my official page, where I post only writing-and-publishing info, is several years old; for now, I’m still sticking with it, and I hope that you’ll “like” it, if you haven’t already.)
From Christi Craig: “50 Author Interviews at Your Fingertips.”
And right on schedule: the current (April) edition of The Practicing Writer newsletter (special National Poetry Month edition) is available.
Have a great weekend, everyone.
