Devoted to publishing, publishers and to those who craft the written word

Stop reading! You need to write.

We could sit here all day writing about writing, but who does that help? It's time to write. One thing that always helps me is a deadline. I now have two new writing deadlines for you. Let's do this...

First, you should write a 100-word story about your misadventures on a social networking site like MySpace or Friendster. Write over the weekend, and then send it to the PopuList over at Smith Magazine. They'll share your memories with the Smith community, a collection of writers and supportive people who love to hear new stories.

Secondly, write a few hundred words more about your misadventures on the web. Then (if you live in New York) come out to the monthly storytelling reading at the Black & White bar in Manhattan. You can tell your story to a roomful of supportive people. I'll be there to meet you.
