Stephanie Kallos » how to write your second novel or if you want to make God laugh, show Him your outline

Here then is the lesson learned from writing The Second Novel: the best writing comes not from the part of you that writes an outline. The best writing comes from the part of you that feels, grieves, fails, flails, yearns, despairs, flounders, and prays. The best writing comes from the place where you dream.

Free Album Download | The Civil Wars // Live At Eddie's Attic

I recently purchased The Civil Wars Poison & Wine EP on iTunes. Love it. Moody, beautiful, alt folk. You can get the free download of their "Live at Eddie's Attic" album at the link above.

My Parents Were Awesome - Tumblr blog


Before the fanny packs and Andrea Bocelli concerts, your parents (and grandparents) were once free-wheeling, fashion-forward, and super awesome.

Send to myparentswereawesome@gmail.com with your name and the name of those pictured (or submit directly through Tumblr). NOTE: If your photo is chosen, it will most likely take at least 3 months before it is posted.


Please feel free to send a page or two if your photo comes with a fascinating, romantic, or interesting back story! It could end up on the site!

When you submit your picture, you grant MPWA a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use the work to be used, copied, sublicensed, adapted, transmitted, distributed, published, displayed or otherwise under our sole discretion.

Got to have some cool photos of Mum & Dad I could submit. . .
