For the weekend: some writing-related reflections, news, and resources to enjoy.
Some thoughtful reflections on and suggestions for “Pushing Through the Perils of Teaching Online.”
Lee Gutkind’s recent “Opinionator” piece provides an excellent reminder of the primacy of scenes. (Not surprisingly, Gutkind’s focus here is nonfiction, but frankly, I often find scenes more challenging when I’m writing fiction.)
A vicarious trip to the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference, courtesy of poet Chloe Yelena Miller. (Reminder: If you may be interested in attending Bread Loaf–or writing conferences more generally–and you live in the Boston area, there’s still time to sign up for this seminar at Grub Street.)
Great news from Wordamour (hint: something to do with a literary agent). Congratulations, Steph!
And ending on another happy note: a nice development in the story of The Writer magazine.
Enjoy the weekend, everyone. It’s a holiday weekend here in the U.S.A., but I’ll bring you a post on Monday nonetheless.
Thanks for the Friday Finds Erika. I enjoyed Lee Gutkind’s piece and getting good news about The Writer magazine helped wrap up a long week very nicely!
Agreed! Hope you are having a lovely weekend, Amy.
So glad to hear The Writer has been saved. I dropped my Writers Digest subscription years ago because I found The Writer so much more worthwhile.
Thanks for commenting, Janet.
Thanks for posting the “teaching online” piece. I enjoyed reading. I personally dread the thought of ever having to teach online.
Oh, Armand–you can do it!
