Win $300 at Snipsly.com

Snipsly is an article site where writers earn 80 percent of AdSense revenue from their articles. Pretty good split, eh?

I've only just signed up with them, but I like the fact that the site is run on WordPress. They are currently running a contest for bloggers to write about the site and link back to their cash contest post. The lucky winner will walk away with a $300 prize.

Writing links

Here's another article full of useful links I just discovered.

Writers write

Sounds stupid, it's true though.

And if you are a writer, I bet you went through a phase in your life where you said you are a writer BUT you don't have the time/ the inspiration/ the whatever right now for writing. Which is of course nonsense. You're either a writer, which means you write, preferably every day, or you're someone who claims to be a writer.

I just found this article which addresses the problem of people making excuses for not writing. Read it and get writing. It's easy, just do it.

I'm a writer. I write everyday.

Manchmal

Es gibt Momente, in denen lese ich mir einen Text durch und denke, "hey, das ist richtig gut". Gerade hatte ich so einen, das erste Mal seit langem. Ich würde dieses Gefühl gern konservieren und benutzen, wenn ich mich mal wieder so richtig schlecht finde. Die Momente kommen leider viel öfter vor.

Aber jetzt lese ich erstmal weiter und hoffe auf mehr Momente der seltenen Sorte.

The amazing news is that Absolute Write got boingboinged after the Barbara Bauer incident. Go there, read it, and spread the word.

Sadly the forums are still not back online, but people are working on it restlessly. For more info, see Jenna Glatzer's blog.

Barbara Bauer got Absolute Write shut down

Barbara Bauer, an "agent" who is on SFWA Writer Beware's 20 Worst Agencies list, has managed to get the Absolute Write forums shut down.

So a number of people have proposed to link Barbara Bauer to the Writer Beware's list in order to make the link come up as the #1 Google search result for "Barbara Bauer".

For more information see Teresa Nielsen Hayden's post , Jim C. Hines' post and Dawno's post . And finally, here's the Technorati Tag for Barbara Bauer.
