  1. Spike Jonze, a short interview, on adapting Where the Wild Things Are for the screen. http://tiny.cc/6a2J3
  2. Just removed 4500-word block from manuscript. Hope to work some of it back in but ms. in better shape without it & I feel lighter. #zenslash
  3. @anthonyeaton I loved reading your Hemingtweets. I drafted a twist on the opening of A Moveable Feast but was daunted by your mastery.
  4. Writing a creepy, late night scene set in the bowels of a spaceport. Good flow today. More written in two hours than in eight yesterday. :-)
  5. @lauravazquez I thought 1 December was standard practice for Crimbo tree-raising?
  6. RT @JMTohline Important page - helping to spread the joy of reading to those less privileged than ourselves: www.RoomToRead.org
  7. RT @ElectricLit: Even more interesting Twitter Fiction! Guide on Litdrift: http://tinyurl.com/yfsyhn7
  8. Using images that feel like the book I'm writing as a desktop slideshow. They change every hour and re-inspire me on the story. I recommend.
  9. Checking out lots of great indie / altern music recommendations from @IllustratorGus. Music be the lifeblood of the writer alone in a room.
  10. Two other tracks I love to write to - Phoenix's (@wearephoenix) 'Too Young' and 'If I Ever Feel Better' - www.myspace.com/wearephoenix
  11. Listening to 'Keep Warm' by We Were Promised Jet Packs- @wwpj. Great to write to. Big anthemic build. www.myspace.com/wewerepromisedjetpacks
  12. About to launch into freewrite rave before tackling the day's word count. Hope it's a happy and productive one for you.
  13. RT @gregpincus Good post by @JaneFriedman on marketing and promotion (the challenges and what to do about it) - http://bit.ly/7LoYB4
  14. Tough to decide, when re-writing, whether to demolish a scene & start over or just renovate. I like it when I'm bold enough to start over.
  15. Reading Louis Sachar's 'Holes' during gaps in my writing day. I like his economy. He says a lot with a little.
  16. Cory Doctorow - @doctorow - vid interview on positive aspects of kids and technology. (Thanks @YPulse for the link.)
  17. Writing a food scene with outrageous desserts. Making me hungry. And giving me a slight toothache at the back on the left hand side.
  18. RT @gregpincus: RT @thewritermama: Best blog post I've read in ages: J.A. Konrath's E-volution: http://bit.ly/4RzuPr
  19. A new draft by Christmas. That's the dream. 2500 words a day. Today it began. Must stay loose enough to let the unexpected in.
  20. Reading final pages of first US Mac Slater manuscript. Only a couple of tiny tweaks. Can't wait to see that puppy in hardback. Hope ur well!
