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 […]

Sick of Your Own Writing

April 20, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 3 Comments

I have a little secret about the first novel I ever wrote: I’m really, really sick of it! It started out as a screenplay, which was edited several times. Then I used the screenplay as an outline for a novel, which was edited several times. Then I recorded the novel and released it as a […]

Monday Motivation: Spring Cleaning

April 18, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund Leave a Comment

Spring is definitely in the air (unless you live in the southern hemisphere or in a part of the world where it snowed this past weekend…but most of us have seen signs of spring). While fall will always be my favorite season, spring is another season that makes writing seem a little more magical to […]

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: Fear and Excitement

April 11, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 7 Comments

I like speaking before groups of people even though it terrifies me. I’ve written about my first experience as a street performing juggler before (and the fears I overcame to finally go before hundreds of people and do my thing). When I train people at work, it’s never bothered me; it’s just when I become […]

Where is the Big Literary E-Book Self Publisher?

April 8, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 7 Comments

Maybe I just haven’t seen it, but where is the big literary e-book success story? Okay, so maybe you’re thinking, “One doesn’t write literary fiction because it pays in piles of cash.” All right–I’ll give you that. Where, then, is the e-book self publishing equivalent of Jodi Picoult, Kathryn Stockett, Abraham Verghese, or Sara Gruen? […]

12 Tips to Prepare for a Writing Weekend

April 6, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 4 Comments

If you’re like most people juggling work and writing, you spend a good part of your day at the job that pays the bills wishing you were home writing. When it comes time to take vacation, you probably use the time to write–not actually take a vacation. It doesn’t have to be that way if […]

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 […]

The Benefits of Sequential Content (Video)

April 3, 2011 by Christopher Gronlund 5 Comments

I finally got around to breaking up the video of the presentation I gave last week about using WordPress to manage online sequential content. Thanks to the Art Institute in Dallas and the Dallas/Fort Worth WordPress Meetup group–I had a great time! For those who have been asking, here are the videos:
