  1. RT @kellidunlap: QOTD: "It needed sex... or a plot."
  2. Couldn't agree more: It's time to bring plot back to the novel. — http://bit.ly/13ypgc
  3. Moving the site to a new hosting provider. If I'm doing it right, no one should notice the change. So let me know if you _do_ notice.
  4. Just discovered this site full of writing prompts & exercises: http://bit.ly/IWPuE
  5. I remember when I thought this was the be-all end-all key to overcoming writer's block: http://bit.ly/29tyHW
  6. Updating to a more recent version of a web framework is supposed to increase stability. Had the opposite effect today. Fixed now. Sorry all!
  7. New feature in the Writer's Database: search only those markets where you don't currently have a submission pending. http://bit.ly/3kfOW9
  8. Best #plotting advice from this weekend's #writing group: Make sure I can tell exactly what I should be rooting for / worried about.
  9. Someday I've gotta get good at writing "microfiction." Max 300-word story contest via @FoundingEditor: http://bit.ly/aQykB
  10. RT @writefly: "In a good play, everyone is in the right." - Fredrich Hebbel (+) See Irwin Shaw's "Bury the Dead" for a fine example.
  11. Got a user request this morning for a feature that already exists on the site. "Where hasn't this #manuscript been yet?" http://bit.ly/PJPas
  12. RT @writefly @booklorn: "Being a good writer is 3% talent, 97% not being distracted by the Internet." -Anonymous
  13. Fun statistic: Writer's Database users mark their submissions "Rejected" more frequently than "Accepted" by a factor of about 10 to 1.
  14. RT @jackomatik I like how the default Status when updating a submission in Writer's DB is 'Rejected.' Ease of use! ;)
  15. @codeshaman Here's another word-count graph for blogs: Example from the wild: http://bit.ly/QIYq9 - The full scoop: http://bit.ly/qyquG
  16. Also on the subject of writing prompts—don't neglect the "Random Article" button on wikipedia! http://bit.ly/OKOfI
  17. This site is rich in writing prompts: http://writingfix.com -- I love the "Serendipitous characters/plots" in the "right-brained" section.
  18. I've written about collaborative storytelling sites before, on the blog. Here's a new one (with a 1024-character limit): http://ficly.com/
  19. ... aaaaand now we're on Twitter.
