I’m Moving — to Blogger!

First of all, let me apologize for the serious drought in posts as of late.  My sickpocalypse sucked away all my blogging energy (and, actually, most of my other energy as well). But now, as I’m pretty much over the plague and as I prepare for my next two speaking engagements, which are both on [...

Input, Please: Platform & Online Presence

I’m currently tweaking a talk I’m giving on platform & online presence next week at the Scribblers’ Retreat Writers Workshop in St. Simons Island, Ga. It’s intended to be “the basics”/making these things accessible and “easy,” and I’m just wondering: What are, say, the top 3 things you’d expect to l

Cracking the Whip on Your Word Count: NoRhym-O-ReMo

First, I have no idea what’s up with the formatting of the text on this post.  But I have 18 bajillion things to do today, so rather than freak out about it, I’m letting it go. WHAT??  I know.  That’s so un-Ricki. Anyway. My apologies for being a bit sparse with the posts as of [...]

Spoiler Alert: NoRhym-O-ReMo Starts May 1

Last May, my online writing community was much smaller—and called Shenandoah Writers Online—so we had SheNoWriMo, which was SWO’s reboot of NaNoWriMo for the month of May. We’re doing the same thing this year—only now we’re the Write-Brained Network—and we’re calling it: NoRhym-O-ReMo (No Rhyme or R

The Straight Dope on “Entitled” vs. “Titled”

“The Straight Dope” highlights common grammatical errors—so you can stop looking dopey when you do these things incorrectly. Please note: Unless otherwise specified, these are the proper grammar and formatting rules according to Chicago style—the style in which you should be writing, if you’re writi

How Writing Makes You Like an Insane Bird

About two weeks ago, my hubbo awoke to a sporadic knock.  “Do you year that?” I did. I was up then, thankyouverymuch, and just as rattled by the knocks as he was. We followed the sound and discovered a robin was repeatedly flying into our sliding glass door on the back patio, the entire pane [...]

M.I.A. Much?

I’ve been missing in action a lot lately, because as I mentioned in a previous post, I have been sick and super busy. But I promise to pick up the slack, and I shall be blogging in the very near future about several things: What I (and Other Writers) Have in Common with a Psychotic [...]

Pointers from the Pros: Art Director Kristen Nobles Talks Picture Books

“Pointers from the Pros” gives tips from authors and publishing industry professionals on everything from craft to querying to their experiences on the road to publication.* I attended the 2011 SCBWI MD/DE/WV’s Spring into Action conference in Buckeystown, Md., with some of my favorite-evers.

Sick

I’m SORRY I have been a bad blogger as of late, but I’m sick. I can’t seem to shake this cold, and every time I *think* I have and venture out my front door or I do a little work, I get slammed with it again. Boo. It’s been horrid in terms of getting things [...]
