If you sometimes find yourself in a situation where you need to write but are away from your computer, here’s an article that will show you ways to increase your daily word count by doing three things. On the Writer’s Digest blog, Jessica Strawser offers three simple ways to do this with her article, “Ways to Increase Your Daily Word Count While Away From Your Computer.” 

The comments that follow her piece are also interesting and offer more tips on how other writers manage to find time to write.

Here’s an inspiring guest post on the Cynsations blog  by Author Margo Sorenson on working with a university press.  On her post, Sorenson writes: “A good research link to check out is the Association of American University Presses, and investigate each imprint that sounds as if it might be a fit. Remember to think outside of the box, because the worst the press can say is, “No,” but paying careful attention to the listing will help you focus in on the right possible market.”

And here’s a great post on the topic of series if that’s the way you’re headed. “Laying the Groundwork for a Series,” is the post to go to on the KidLit website.
