Writers’ Roundup: June 24

What’s new this week? I’m tearing through Tim Ferris’ The 4-Hour Workweek; can’t wait to blog about it here or on my bookshelf Tumblr.

Interesting links from the last few days:

• How do you know when a project is done? Don’t aim for perfect, says Seth Godin. My BFF AJ had a post on this a few weeks back, explaining how, the more time you spend trying to reach perfection, the more your product drops in value (to you).

• Fascinating profile of self-publishing queen Amanda Hocking in The New York Times.

• Writer Ami Spencer says happiness is not right around the corner — it’s closer than you think.

• At 10,000 words, an impressive video shows how The Bangor Daily News has integrated its workflow with WordPress. This will make the journo-geek in you drool.

• Literary agent Rachelle Gardner wrote some insightful posts lately about how publishing is changing.

• Right-on tips from Chris Guillebeau about how to make money online.

• Agency Gatekeeper suggests a unique way to get an agent’s attention in your proposal.

• I wrote for Chuck Sambuchino’s blog about the benefits of keeping your day job and writing on the side. It led to my first mention on GalleyCat! Woot!

• Finally, if you enjoyed my post on Evil Plans, you might check out my review of Hugh MacLeod’s first book, Ignore Everybody.

Enjoy your weekend!
