Publishing Spotted: War Writing, Speedy Scribbling, and Bruce Bust

Who is saving the stories of your family members? 

Over at Memoirville, World War II vet Norman Bussel is writing a serialized account of his nightmarish experience as a POW. The first installment opens with a heartbreaking ode to storytelling:

"Well, my own mortality has now become a factor and I know that this story will never be told if I don’t record it now. So here it is. In sincerity. In candor. In awesome remembrance. And with apologies to those who died, for any imperfection in this work, because nothing is perfect." (Thanks to Rachel for sharing the link!)

Writing a novel in a month is one thing. Writing one in three days is ___________. A small, wacky segment of our writing population would finish that sentence by saying, "pretty cool." If you are one of those people, sign up for the 30th anniversary edition of the Annual 3-Day Novel Writing Contest of Insanity. (Thanks to MFA Blog for the link!)

Finally, our poet friend Robert Bruce is having some hilarious problems selling his book on YouTube. If he could only afford my exclusive two million dollar super-duper web writing consultancy fee--then wouldn't have these troubles.
