Publishing Spotted: Fake Journalists, Sneaky Writers and Bitty Screens

How simple is it to write you novel on the clock? Pete from PeteLit breaks it down. It might seem simple or obvious, but this is the kind of dedication you need to finish that novel burning a hole on your desktop. Visit PeteLit for more literary goodness.  

"When I started working at my last job I'd regularly slip out of the office in the afternoon for 30 minutes, go to a coffee shop and write. I rationalized it by the fact that I took only 10 minutes for lunch, brown-bagging at my desk, so the company 'owed' me some extra time."

Isak is getting her readers involved in an online effort to answer the question, Who's Your Favorite Fictional Journalist? If your favorites (or least favorites) are on the HBO show The Wire, then you will want to read this article

'Shut up already about the mobile journalism nonsense,' you might be saying, but Steve Bryant alerted me to this article about "Pocket Theaters." These handheld devices perfectly suited for video storytelling, and when they get to the United States, lots and lots of writers will have new jobs writing for bitty screens:

"Portable media players are selling like hot cakes in Korea. Industry sources say over 2.3 million devices were sold last year, a 100 percent increase from 2006. Given that some 2.1 million TV sets were sold during the same period, it seems these new gadgets are not just for early adopters anymore."

Dedication, yes, but in my case also self-serving justifications for slacking on company time. I didn't honestly believe the company "owed" me that extra time, but that's what I told myself as I took it anyway.
