Monday Morning Mashup – 3/26/12

MASH-UP

A creative combination

or mixing of content

from different sources.

I spent the better part of this week transferring my blog from Blogger to WordPress. The remainder of the week was spent trying to figure out how to get my “followers” to follow me over to WordPress. Needless to say, I have not added much to my work-in-progress. But, I do have a new writer space now. (Click here to see a picture!)  Don’t you love all the ideas we writers have to inspire us to WRITE? A wise soul told me once, “Just sit your butt down and write!”

Hmmm . . . if I remembered who that was, and if he had a link, I’d put it in my mashup this week.

Jane Friedman‘s blog had a guest appearance by Ken Brosky. His article, “How to Get Media Coverage” is a concise post on how to avoid making the same mistakes he made in his attempts to promote his work. Best of all, he provides a links to excellent resources. http://janefriedman.com/2012/03/20/media-coverage/

I love posts on goals. It inspires me to set goals. Kristi Helvig, YA Writer, posted a great article, “How to Attain Your Writing Goals” on her blog. What I liked about her list, and what set it apart from many others, is that she lists the “typical” wording of some of our goals, then suggests a “better” wording. http://kristihelvig.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-to-attain-your-writing-goals.html?showComment=1332276646838#c2101323606421621476

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

It is good to have an end

to journey toward;

but it is the journey

that matters,

in the end.
