  • You can tell when I am not on task when I trash my writing room. My only goal for today is to Take Back My Space. I know times are stressful-- between the economy and the jacked-up state of publishing-- but this is no excuse for me sabotaging my own peace of mind. If you have a writing area-- even if it is just a little desk-- feel free to join me.
  • There is still time to enter the drawing for Lyrae's beautiful book. (Details below).
  • David Sedaris is releasing his new audio book on vinyl.
  • I listened to this recording of Amy Reed reading from her debut, Beautiful, and I was hooked. YA label be damned!
  • The "SP"-word? Aracelis Girmay speaks out.
  • Four years after his MFA, he wishes he had thought about more than just convenience.
  • DeBerry reaches out to Oprah.
  • Naughty little quip!
  • Literary costume party in NYC! I think I'm going to go if I can come up with an outfit.
  • Mashable's 100 Authors that tweet! (And they are all white. What the heck is going on these days???)
  • The Bad Sex Awards have been announced and passages are posted. Of course these lucky winners are all white, too, but exclusion is not always a bad thing. ;)
  • Last, may I guide you to Matthew's excellent comment to last week's blog post about the National Book Award. I am thinking of having it tatooed on my forearm.

    I actually posted a directory of Authors of Color on Twitter earlier this week as my latest blog entry. Of course, the list includes you!
