The Future of Books and Publishing

April 23, 2010 by Christopher Gronlund Leave a Comment

I recently watched Richard Nash’s talk about the future of books and publishing. (I found it here, on Booklife.) There are some great points made in the presentation, but there were two that really stuck out: The reminder that the long form narrative is a feature, not a bug. Most writers — whether they know […]

5 Ways to Be Prepared for Seasonal Articles

April 21, 2010 by Christopher Gronlund 2 Comments

Spring is a great time to write articles. It’s no longer cold and wet, and it’s not so hot that you’d rather die than write. Really, though, every season is a great time to write articles. One of the problems with seasonal articles is planning ahead a few months and knowing what to pitch. If […]

I started listening to the Andy Richter episode yesterday. About 27 minutes into the podcast, they talk about stand up comedians who are always on. I’ve been around a few people like […]

Writing Priorities

April 12, 2010 by Christopher Gronlund Leave a Comment

I recently finished Haruki Murakami’s memoir about running and writing, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. While it’s much more about running than writing — even if you don’t like running — it’s worth reading if you write.

Defining Moments

April 9, 2010 by Christopher Gronlund 3 Comments

On a walk last night, I thought about how I didn’t start writing seriously until I was 20. I always enjoyed writing, but it wasn’t something I thought I’d do when I was younger. (I thought I’d be an artist, a wildlife biologist, or a juggler.) As I walked along, I thought about the earliest […]

5 Ways to Find New Material

April 7, 2010 by Christopher Gronlund 4 Comments

While most writers will die with a head full of unfinished ideas, there are times — especially when writing articles or other quicker content — when a writer can find himself at a loss for something to write about. If you find yourself searching for something to write about, I hope some of these five […]
