Hello friends! Thanks for checking in for this week’s roundup of links.
Here’s what I’ve got for you this week:
- Are you too busy to blog? Chris Garrett suggests ways to blog more productively.
- Fascinating read from The New York Times: The threatening scent of fertile women.
- Blogging isn’t dead, it’s just evolving, says Mathew Ingram. We now have so many more choices of how to blog.
- Jessica Lawlor explains Google Reader and how it allows her to read and comment on so many blogs. If you’re not using Google Reader yet, you should be. Huge time-saver.
- Career Break Secrets gives ebook Negotiating Your Sabbatical a solid review.
- The Online Journalism Review imagines the 21st century’s digital bookstore.
- Forbes brings us How to Quit Multitasking. What do you mean, you didn’t know you needed to quit?
- Tips from Rolf Potts on planning a travel itinerary around a budget.
- TechCrunch says, I will check my phone at dinner and you will deal with it. Agree? Disagree?
- Soon-to-be author Doug Mack offers insight into the life of the travel writer.
- And finally, literary agent Janet Reid says what needs to be said: Don’t blog about your query process! At least until it’s over. None of us wants to watch you shoot yourself in the foot.
Now that I have a nice break from my book, any time I spend on the computer this weekend will be dedicated to the blog, guest posts and Book #2. More on that down the road.
Have a good one!

Woohoo! Two weeks in February I made the elusive Writers’ Roundup!
I feel accomplished.
Great list of links, as always.
And as much as I want to say I’m not guilty of checking my phone when out for dinner…I definitely have done it. It used to be my moms biggest pet peeve, but even now she does it sometimes. Sadly, it is becoming the norm!
