Weekend Edition – Can You Hold Please Plus Writing Tips and Good Reads

A still from Disney’s Winnie-the-Pooh film adaptation.

Gon out. Bizy. Back Soon.

I only have a moment. I’ll explain later why. It’s noting catastrophic. It’s nothing (all that) related to writing, but I have just run out of time this week.

I’ll look forward to seeing all you Weekend Word Warriors next Saturday and will fill you in then on my exploits and adventures. For now, here’s a quick little duo-selfie (is that a real term) of me and my daughter sending a smiley shout-out your way.

What I’m Reading:

Just a quickie mention of the latest “bedtime book” my daughter and I just finished, Mr. and Mrs. Bunny Detectives Extraordinaire – translated from Rabbit by Polly Horvath. This was a fun and rollicking story, perfect for an out loud read. The characters were charming and the story kept us interested and hanging at the end of each chapter. Also, how can you resist a book that claims to have been translated from Rabbit?

 

 

And let’s not forget the blogs. Here are a few of my favorite writerly posts from this week:

• Motherlode –> 20 Common Grammar Mistakes That (Almost) Everyone Makes via @LitReactor
• 8 Things to Do On Tuesday After an Unproductive Monday  by @BillMurphyJR
• The Lion’s Gate, Fighting Resistance And Mental Toughness For Writers by @TheCreativePenn w/ @SPressfield
• Beethoven’s Surprisingly Simple Habit for Creative Breakthroughs by @GregoryCiotti
• Size Matters: McKee’s Four Tips on Writing a Big Story by @jan_ohara

Sorry this weekend edition is so short, but I still wish each of you great writing and great reading. 

Until next week!
