I Love Squarespace

Squarespace customer service rocks. I switched most of my blogs from Wordpress to Squarespace in June 2010 and have been very happy. If you're considering making the switch, you may want to read about my experience in switching from Wordpress to Squarespace.

August 21, 2010: I'm illustrating a book written by writer/actor/comedian Michael Ian Black, to be released by Simon & Schuster in 2012. YES, I'M EXCITED! And hugely grateful to my friend, Beckett Gladney. Here's why.

Time Management Tip

It's often not so much about finding time to write as MAKING time to write.

Um...

But don't give up reading THIS blog, of course.

Are you ready for Random Acts Of Publicity Week? (Sept.7-10)

Founded last year by writer Darcy Pattison, Random Acts Of Publicity Week is a week where you do something to promote a friend's book or promote a recent book you've read.

What a fantastic idea! I've created a bit.ly short URL to make it easier for people to remember and promote the URL:

http://bit.ly/rap2010 

I'm going to participate. What about you?

Morning Inspiration: "To Be Of Use"

Author Jane Yolen posted this wonderful poem by Marge Piercy in Facebook recently, saying that people are always asking her about her compulsion to write and work ethic. I -love- this poem, and totally agree with its sentiment. Not just about work but about life in general.

Image above: my Daily Doodle (I've been posted Daily Doodles on my main DebbieOhi.com site, for those interested), inspired by the poem this morning.
