Paul Guyot: rewriting
Paul Guyot talks about rewriting in his blog, "Ink Slinger: Blatherings of a recovering television writer."
Bill Quick: e-book publishing experience
In a recent posting in his "Daily Pundit" blog, Bill Quick has an interesting overview of his experience publishing his own e-book. "I purchased no advertising, paid no agent, and have no costs other than my time in writing the thing, and bandwidth, which I'd be paying anyway. Moreover, the entire process is automated, so after the initial several hours spent in formatting, setting up a PayPal page, and writing a download page, I do nothing but watch the money roll in."
M.J. Rose: "writers' therapy" Q&A
M.J. Rose features guest blogger Susan O'Doherty, Ph.D in a recent Buzz, Balls and Hype blog. Topics addressed include: "Am I entitled to call myself a writer?" and "Is there a time when a person should just accept that he will NOT become a writer?"

The Little Owl Mentoring Program
Help out a young writer...
"The Little Owl Mentoring Program connects experienced adult writers with young writers ages 13-22 for free online, regardless of physical location. Created by by Hope Clark, editor of FundsforWriters.com, who runs the mentor side of things, and Elisabeth Wilhelm, editor of AbsyntheMuse.com, who reps the teen demographic, the program currently boasts over 85 mentors and 95 mentees.
However, Little Owl is suffering from a serious mentor shortage. Some young writers have been waiting for months to be paired with a mentor, and experienced writers are needed to cover every writing category and genre---we didn't know how popular the program would become in such a short time period! If you'd like to apply, please fill out the mentor application form. If you're unable to mentor, please consider passing on the word to someone who can."
