A Writer’s Politics: Does It Matter?

May 3, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 10 Comments

I used to belong to a group of comic book creators called the Southwest Society of Comic Book Creators. It was a cool thing while it lasted, with a large group of creators sharing tips, tricks, and just hanging out. Sometime in the early 90s, there was a meeting of Southwest comic book creators–mainly Texas […]

The $.99 E-Book

April 22, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 8 Comments

Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal had a piece about cheap e-books. I’ve heard more than a few people bemoan the race toward the bottom when it comes to pricing stories on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other sites selling e-books. While I understand where these people are coming from (it can be hard to stomach […]

Writing Day and Night

April 15, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 5 Comments

I’ve finished most of my big writing projects late at night or early in the morning after an all-nighter. Despite all that, I’m a morning person. I finished the best thing I’ve ever written last summer in the late afternoon/early evening when I was able to focus on writing full time. Night and Day Most […]

Millions or Enough?

April 13, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 4 Comments

On Monday, Kristin Bair O’Keeffe asked readers of Writerhead what they’d go the whole wide world over for. She asked readers what they wanted in life–with their writing and just as a human sharing space on the planet with billions of other humans. I answered. As a writer, I want enough. By that, I mean […]

Monday Motivation: How to Stick to a Decision

April 4, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 2 Comments

I started a new job a month ago. I figured I’d like the job because I know somebody who’s been there for over 6 months and they like it (we have similar taste in what constitutes a good job). For me, it’s a gut feeling–you just know if a job is good or bad on […]

Dyslexic Writers Unite!

March 30, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 6 Comments

Yes, I had to triple check the headline to be sure I didn’t pull the old “untie” gag. Paul Lamb recently shared this post about being a dyslexic writer. I’ve corresponded with CMStewart about her problems with numbers. I’ve met many dyslexic writers, and even more dyslexic creative people doing cool things. “You Can Fix […]

The Benefits of Sequential Content

February 26, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 5 Comments

I’ve always been obsessed with the structure of things. When I was younger and shoved into learning disability classes for dyslexia, something clicked: I saw the importance of being able to string words together. By becoming fixated on syntax — from the way letters went together to form words to how words went together to […]

What Do Writers Owe Their Audience?

January 7, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 3 Comments

On Wednesday, I wrote about Snooki’s new book and the reaction it’s caused. Snooki’s deal has bothered more than a few people out there. (I can sympathize; I just don’t think it’s worth the effort to go on and on about it because it’s not going to stop cut-rate celebrities from getting book deals…or stop […]

The Rage and Jealousy of Some Writers

January 5, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 6 Comments

I know next to nothing about Snooki. I know there’s a show called Jersey Shore and that people watch it because it’s a supposed train wreck, full of ridiculous people being, well…ridiculous. I’m not a fan of fame for the sake of fame, but the main reason I have never watched the show is — […]

Happy New Year!

January 2, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund Leave a Comment

I wanted to get this online Friday night, but I was having a big problem with The Juggling Writer. (I was unable to log into the site; obviously, I figured out the problem.) So while we’re all looking ahead into 2011, here’s a glimpse into the past — December 31, 2010:

Best of The Juggling Writer – 2010

December 30, 2010 by Christopher Gronlund 2 Comments

2010 was a busy year for The Juggling Writer. I wrote about 150 entries on the blog, totaling — I’m guessing — around 70,000 words written. (31 of those entries were written this month.) I finished another novel (103,000 words, but many of those words were written in previous drafts.) I was laid off and […]

Give Yourself the Gift of Writing

December 25, 2010 by Christopher Gronlund 1 Comment

I thought about doing another The Gift of Books Christmas entry like last year, but I can sum up this year’s reading gifts with the photo I used for this entry and another book given to me by my mom — and a thank you to my sister-in-law and family for a nice gift certificate […]

Oops!

December 23, 2010 by Christopher Gronlund 2 Comments

There was a problem with a server at my ISP, and The Juggling Writer was down for roughly 24 hours. (My main site was back online yesterday, and the site for my podcast came back, but with a missing sidebar.) It was a good reminder that while I back up my writing, I need to […]
