Banned Books Week

September 30, 2010 by Christopher Gronlund 3 Comments

While I’m very opinionated, I rarely espouse my beliefs on The Juggling Writer. Not today… *          *          * “Where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people.” – Heinrich Heine *          *          * It’s banned books week, a week when all those evil, foul, and corruptible texts about gay penguins and other things get the […]

Monday Motivation: Rewrites

September 27, 2010 by Christopher Gronlund Leave a Comment

“I’m not a very good writer, but I’m an excellent rewriter.” – James Michener One of the topics that always seems to come up in the writing group I’m in is how much we don’t like rewrites. I’m the most tolerant of rewrites, having rewritten the novel I just finished four times, but I still […]

Today: Road Trippin’. *          *          * I grew up north of Chicago–my father lived in Kansas City.

All this week, I’m discussing writing vacations and writing-related things you can do on family vacations.

A new travel writer doesn’t stand […]

In Praise of the Nerdist Podcast

Monday Motivation: Labor Day

September 6, 2010 by Christopher Gronlund 3 Comments

It’s Labor Day in the U.S. For many, that means cookouts and rushing to crowd several weekends of fun into one last fling before the weather turns colder (unless you live in Texas!). On most holidays, I stop for a moment in my office and think about what the holiday means to me. Labor Day […]
