The Juggling Writer Turns Two

September 8, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 11 Comments

If The Juggling Writer were a child, it would be on the cusp of tearing around with the energy of a caffeinated Chihuahua, making as much noise as it can. It would demand attention: “IF YOU DON’T LISTEN TO ME, I’LL GET EVEN LOUDER!!!” It would throw tantrums, but have also reached a point where […]

How I Take Notes

September 6, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 6 Comments

I’m a huge fan of notebooks. It’s a rare moment that I’m more than 20 feet away from a 5″ x 7″ Mead notebook. For those times I am without a notebook, I have my iPhone. As big a fan of being able to catch thoughts as they come to me, I don’t have a […]

Labor (Day) of Love

September 5, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 2 Comments

It’s Labor Day in the states — a day in honor of people who had enough back in the late 19th century and demanded better working conditions; a day when we celebrate summer coming to a close with a long weekend away from work. But I like to work on Labor Day. Oh, I’m sure […]

The Web’s Effect on Writing

August 24, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 4 Comments

Yesterday, I read this article on Lifehacker about how surfing the Web at work can make people more productive. I wasn’t surprised to hear this. While I work at a desk with a great view of a lake and have everything I need to do my job as a technical writer, aspects of my job […]

Wading through by Writing

August 19, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund Leave a Comment

It was “official” Wednesday afternoon: the project I’ve been working on at my day job since May finally wrapped up. I’m lucky–I have a day job that normally requires no overtime. I work with cool people and get to work from home half the time. I write enough procedures that I’m always busy, but rarely […]

A Writer’s Environment

August 17, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 4 Comments

Does a writer’s environment matter? If a writer needs certain conditions in order to write, are they setting themselves up for failure? Should a writer be able to write anyplace at anytime? Reading a blog entry called “The Where of Writing” on Paul Lamb’s Lucky Rabbit’s Foot got me thinking about something that’s never too […]

What to Do When You Find the Time

August 3, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 3 Comments

On Monday, I posted an entry about how to make time. People really seemed to like it. I received email from somebody asking what to do with that time when you reclaim it. I thought it was weird. Last night, though, a friend posted on Facebook that he was checking work email. Since I’m working […]

Monday Motivation: How to Find Time

August 1, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 7 Comments

The first cliche I probably ever heard someone say was “Time is money.” It’s been my experience that the people who say the catch phrase the most usually don’t have much time or money. (But if stress were currency, they’d be some of the richest people I know.) Since childhood, I’ve liked listening to older […]

Google Plus for Writers

July 19, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 14 Comments

Yesterday, I mentioned some of my initial thoughts about Google+. So far, I like it. I have friends who don’t; I have friends who like it but won’t use it because it’s yet another social network. I get all that–I feel the same way myself about many things I’m told I should use as a […]

Initial Thoughts about Google+

July 18, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 3 Comments

The first thing I noticed about Google+ when I received an invite and checked it out: no Farmville, Mob Wars, or other games filling people’s feeds! The second thing I noticed: “Aside from no Farmville, this is almost exactly like Facebook.” The third thing I noticed: I was wrong about Google+ being almost exactly like […]

A Benefit of eBook Technology

June 24, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 6 Comments

When I completed my first novel, Hell Comes With Wood Paneled Doors, I obviously hoped it would be published by a traditional publisher. I finished it in the early 2000s, and it was met with the typical rejection I seem to get: “I liked this, but it’s a bit too quirky and I don’t know […]

Hell Comes With Wood Paneled Doors eBook

June 21, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 4 Comments

While it’s been in the 100s all week, summer has officially arrived in Texas (and the rest of the northern hemisphere). In honor of the start of summer road trip season, I’m releasing the first novel I ever wrote, Hell Comes With Wood Paneled Doors, as an ebook. Right now, it’s available on Amazon.com and […]

Writing About Writing

June 15, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 9 Comments

Over at Chuck Wendig’s Terribleminds, the talk today is about blogging about writing. Should writers blog about writing? Does the world really need another writing blog? Some writers say no; others say yes. Why I Blog? I started The Juggling Writer to keep writing even more on my mind than it already is. While I’ve […]
