Libraries that Cherish Purrrrrrrrrple Prose (and Kitty Toes)

Posted on 12 February 2008

I’m charmed by Iron Frog Productions’ library cats map, showing the locations of bookish felines around the world. I think you will be too.

Quote for Writers

Another source of sidetracking is the pursuit of someone else’s goals or recommendations for ’success.’ Writing magazines are full of sure-fire secrets and formulas, but often fail to mention that these strategies don’t work for everyone. For example, if you’ve set the goal of ‘getting up every morning to write before work,’ that may work fine — unless you happen to be a natural night person, in which case you’ll either hate those hours of writing, or hate yourself for being unable to achieve the goal you’ve set. Similarly, if you’ve been told that a good writer always keeps a journal, but yours bores you to tears, you may come to the mistaken conclusion that you aren’t a ‘real’ writer — or simply waste a lot of time in a pursuit that has no real meaning for you. At the same time, be careful about passing up opportunities just because they don’t seem immediately fulfilling. Taking a writing class, for example, may not seem exciting, but it could help you toward your long-term goals. — Moira Allen in “Setting Effective Writing Goals”
