First Quarter Check-in #mondayblogs #amwriting #amreading

March 26, 2018 · by dehelen | in Writing | tagged #amreading, #amwriting, #mondayblogs | Leave a comment

Are you one of the people who “hope” for 100 rejections this year and are therefore submitting work to the places you sincerely hope to be published in? Are you a person who has a deadline to finish your novel or memoir, or poetry collection, or play? Are you a reader waiting [im]patiently for your […]

Why You Might Want a Sensitivity Reader #mondayblogs #amwriting

March 12, 2018 · by dehelen | in Writing | tagged #amwriting, #mondayblogs

Before you go down the road of outrage about political correctness or censorship, please consider this: Because we all watch television, or participate in social media, or binge watch Netflix, or go to movies, or plays, or dinner with friends, we have a shorthand for what we see, read, or hear. If someone says the […]

Keep on. #mondayblogs #amwriting

March 5, 2018 · by dehelen | in Writing | tagged #amwriting, #mondayblogs

Turned in the rough draft of the play on time. I also met a deadline for a grant that I learned about only two days before. What will the results be? One result is that I now know I can do more than I think I can in two days. Another is I now have […]

Empowering Women #mondayblogs #amwriting

December 11, 2017 · by dehelen | in Writing | tagged #amwriting, #mondayblogs

I not only belong to the group Women Who Submit, I lead a chapter of WWS in El Cajon, California, where I live. Women Who Submit is a group that was created to empower women writers to submit their work for publication. My group began in January of this year, and meets monthly. Like all […]

Rejection vs Acceptance #mondayblogs #amwriting

November 13, 2017 · by dehelen | in Writing | tagged #amwriting, #mondayblogs

Submissions to journals this year:  47 Withdrawals (due to acceptance elsewhere):  1 Actual rejections (vs no response):  22 Acceptances: 7′ Those numbers mean I’ve had a 15% acceptance rate so far this year, and as you can see, there are still 25 places I haven’t heard back from. One of the rejections I received this […]

The End is Near #mondayblogs #amwriting

November 6, 2017 · by dehelen | in Writing | tagged #amwriting, #mondayblogs | 2 Comments

The end of the year, that is. Tomorrow is voting day in the US in many places. Remember to vote if that’ s happening where you live. I have one more writing residency before year-end, and seven more essays to write to achieve my 52 essays for the year. One a week, that was the […]

Indie Bookstores #mondayblogs #amwriting #amreading

October 30, 2017 · by dehelen | in Writing | tagged #amreading, #amwriting, #mondayblogs

Today my favorite indie bookstore (Another Read Through in Portland, Oregon) announced that from now on we can buy NEW BOOKS on their website. I always order new books from my store, but this will make it so much easier. As you know, that big online bookstore drove almost every bookseller in the country out […]

Artist Date #mondayblogs #amwriting

October 23, 2017 · by dehelen | in Writing | tagged #amwriting, #mondayblogs | 2 Comments

If you’ve done The Artist’s Way by Julie Cameron (I did the three books in a row, doing the exercises daily for twelve weeks, several years ago), you know the importance of taking yourself on an Artist Date once a week. I’ve been writing daily for years, but I’m not diligent about that important date. […]

Publication forthcoming. #mondayblogs #amwriting #poetry

October 2, 2017 · by dehelen | in Writing | tagged #amwriting, #mondayblogs, poetry | 2 Comments

I have signed with Launch Point Press to publish several volumes of my poetry. The first collection will be out in a few months, and will feature lesbian love poems. Meanwhile, my writing group back in Portland is having another fabulous reading event, with authors, books, signings, raffles, prizes, even a costume contest. All FREE! […]

Labor Day. Brought to you by laborers. #mondayblogs #unions

September 4, 2017 · by dehelen | in Writing | tagged #mondayblogs, unions | 2 Comments

Thanks to former president Ronald Reagan and Republicans, many of you no longer remember unions. Maybe your only thought of unions is how someone in your family had to join a union in order to have their job. Maybe you think all the protection you need as a worker is supplied to you by law. […]
