Writers’ Roundup: August 12

Some exciting things happening on my end, projects I’m psyched to share with you in the coming weeks!

For now, helpful and interesting links from this week:

• How to prioritize your life? Tackle your fears first, says Hey Amber Rae. I recently added this blog to my RSS feed; it’s awesome for inspiration.

• Author Jody Hedlund brings us 4 keys to unlocking your creativity. I like #2: Schedule downtime.

• At MediaJobsDaily, a roundup of journalism jobs titles of the future. Story scientist, anyone?

• Showcasing your relative expertise can help your career, says Sean Ogle at DYI Themes.

• Got turned onto this The Rise to the Top interview with Elizabeth Marshall, who runs book campaigns for clients. Some good ideas for relationship-building and publicity here.

• LOVE this from LifeHacker: Reduce everything you want to do to an action you can do right now. Really. Now.

• Author and entrepreneur Chris Brogan on how to make time to write a book. He’s talking nonfiction here.

• My colleague Kim Palmer wrote a great piece on how a back-up plan, aka side biz, can come in handy if you lose or want to leave your job.

• Finally, enjoyed writing this piece on ways the world of work is changing. Fascinating topic and one that affects us all.

Happy weekend!
