Am I a science journalist? | Not Exactly Rocket Science | Discover Magazine
I know I fall somewhere on that spectrum. Am I a journalist? Honestly, I care less about the answer than I once did. I am not being blase – I care very deeply about journalism, but there are few things more boring than journalists arguing over what counts as journalism. We live in a world full of stories, about amazing people doing amazing things and terrible people doing terrible things. I will use every medium I can to tell those stories. I will try to tell them accurately so people aren’t misled. I will try to tell them well so people will listen. If people want to argue about what to call that, that’s fine for them.

The Web Is a Customer Service Medium (Ftrain.com)
That's what I tell my Gutenbourgeois friends, if they'll listen. I say: Create a service experience around what you publish and sell. Whatever “customer service” means when it comes to books and authors, figure it out and do it. Do it in partnership with your readers. Turn your readers into members. Not visitors, not subscribers; you want members. And then don't just consult them, but give them tools to consult amongst themselves. These things are cheap and easy now if you hire one or two smart people instead of a large consultancy. Define what the boundaries are in your community and punish transgressors without fear of losing a sale. Then, if your product is good, you'll sell things. (Don't count on your fellow Gutenbourgeois to buy things. They're clicking the little thumb icon on YouTube like everyone else.) If you don't want to do that then just find niche communities who might conceivably care about your products and buy great ad placements. It's a better online spend.

Elizabeth Benedict: "Only Disconnect..." With Hemingway's Notebook
I wrote three pages. By hand. With a pen. Later that day, I wrote two more. I woke up early every day for two weeks and wrote this way. It was primitive and thrilling, like cooking over a campfire, like celestial navigation. I wasn't sure where I was going, but I was on a journey, and it felt natural, instead of cramped, for the first time in years.

Tips on writing from Steven Johnson, ie., an actual successful writer | Oliver Burkeman
Set modest daily goals: “I try to just say I’m going to write 500 words every single day. Because 500 words isn’t that many words. But if you did it every single day you could write a book every six months. I mean, you can’t write all day. You just can’t possibly do it.”

Tuesday Tips: The Writing Process & Lamott’s “Sh*tty First Drafts” « The Write Alley
I know some very great writers, writers you love who write beautifully and have made a great deal of money, and not one of them sits down routinely feeling wildly enthusiastic and confident. Not one of them writes elegant first drafts. All right, one of them does, but we do not like her very much.

Amazon.com: My Father's Kites (9780982416921): Allison Joseph: Books
The centerpiece of Allison Joseph's sixth full-length poetry collection is a sequence of thirty-four sonnets about losing her father. "Superbly executed, part family history and part homage, Allison Joseph strings the frail human voices across the forceful lines of her verse to summon her absent father back from the dead." -- Maura Stanton

echovar » Blog Archive » Real-Time Writing: A Transvaluation of All Values
As a story plays out across the Network, as new information is uncovered, the inputs are routed through the mixing board of the writer’s keyboard. A writer must now listen to how the whole jam is sounding— the writer is a player down in the groove with other players. As we learn to write through a real-time medium, we’ll need to look to the values, standards and practices of live performance. But these performances aren’t necessarily the traditional one-to-many events unfolding within a proscenium. We’ll need to dig into the performance theories of Richard Schechner and the Happenings of Allan Kaprow; revive the thoughts of Michael Kirby and The Art of Time, and the work of Fluxus. The journey from text on a page to hypertext on the Network is not a small adjustment to a business model; it’s a transvaluation of all values.

Gawker - Dave Eggers Reassures Us That Print Lives, Via Email - Dave Eggers
We believe that if you use the hell out of the medium, if you give investigative journalism space, if you give photojournalists space, if you give graphic artists and cartoonists space— if you really truly give readers an experience that can't be duplicated on the web— then they will spend $1 for a copy. And that $1 per copy, plus the revenue from some (but not all that many) ads, will keep the enterprise afloat.

Mr. Wendell Berry of Kentucky
During the otherwise quiet course of his life as a poet, Wendell Berry has become mad at what contemporary society has made of its land, its communities, and its past. This anger reaches its peak in the poems of the Mad Farmer, an open-ended sequence he's found himself impelled to continue against his better instincts. These poems can take the shape of manifestos, meditations, insults, Whitmanic fits and ravings--and are often funny in spite of themselves. The Mad Farmer is a character as necessary, perhaps, as he is regrettable. Here are gathered the individual poems from Berry's various collections to offer the teachings and bitcheries of this amazing American voice. After the great success of the lovely Window Poems, Bob Baris of the Press on Scroll Road returns to design and produce an edition illustrated with etchings by Abigail Rover.

How To Write - Fowler - Google Books
How to Write is an introductory guide to writing, aimed at people who think they can't write, or for whom writing is an ordeal. Broken down into short topic-based chapters on everything from beginning to revising, it demystifies the writing process by taking the reader through each stage necessary to bring a piece of writing to a decent finish. The book also offers a wealth of invaluable practical considerations, including when and where to write, when to printout and when to edit onscreen, what type of pen works well for revisions, and the hazards of the paperclip. The author is a seasoned writer whose encouraging but uncompromising guidance will delight as well as instruct.

Algonquin Round Table - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Algonquin Round Table was a celebrated group of New York City writers, critics, actors and wits. Gathering initially as part of a practical joke, members of "The Vicious Circle," as they dubbed themselves, gathered for lunch each day at the Algonquin Hotel from 1919 until roughly 1929. At these luncheons they engaged in wisecracks, wordplay and witticisms that, through the newspaper columns of Round Table members, were disseminated across the country.

This Is Your Life (and How You Tell It) - New York Times
By contrast, so-called generative adults — those who score highly on tests measuring civic-mindedness, and who are likely to be energetic and involved — tend to see many of the events in their life in the reverse order, as linked by themes of redemption. They flunked sixth grade but met a wonderful counselor and made honor roll in seventh. They were laid low by divorce, only to meet a wonderful new partner. Often, too, they say they felt singled out from very early in life — protected, even as others nearby suffered.

I Am a Slow Blog : Ruminate
Slow Blogging is in the air. And even slower blogging. I don’t know all the details of the Slow Blogging movement, nor have I had the pleasure of meeting Barbara Ganley (who has been championing the concept) to talk about it. But I’m quite aware of the slow blogging idea… not just from Barbara’s blog entries, but from serendipitously stumbling across other people who had independently developed similar ideas. I’ve had similar– though less fully explored– thoughts about blogs and blogging for some time, particularly after coming under the influence of a book I’ve since recommended to many people, Carl Honore’s In Praise of Slow .

Interview @MarsPhoenix - Universe
So I started writing out some of the posts, and every time I tried to fit in something that said, you know, "the spacecraft is traveling at such and such miles per hour," I'd have to cut it down because it was too many characters. So then I'd have, you know, "Phoenix is..." and sometimes I couldn't even fit "Phoenix," so eventually I just switched it so it said "I am traveling at such and such miles per hour." Really, it was mostly to save on the characters posted to Twitter [Twitter has a 140 character limit on posts]. I waited to see how people would react, and a part of me thought that somebody was going to write back and say, "don't do that, that's silly." Instead, it just took off, and people really liked it. They liked the first-person aspect of it, even though they knew that somebody at JPL was doing it

What is NaNoWriMo? | National Novel Writing Month
Because of the limited writing window, the ONLY thing that matters in NaNoWriMo is output. It's all about quantity, not quality. The kamikaze approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly.

Make no mistake: You will be writing a lot of crap. And that's a good thing. By forcing yourself to write so intensely, you are giving yourself permission to make mistakes. To forgo the endless tweaking and editing and just create. To build without tearing down.

Special Guest Post: Revisiting John McPhee on NYC's Greenmarkets—The Catbird Seat: Friends & Guests—Emdashes
I saw this news of a vendor ejected from New York City's Greenmarket farmers markets, for offering products not raised on his own farm, just after I read John McPhee's "Giving Good Weight," an article on the markets from the July 3, 1978, New Yorker. (Not online; link is to abstract.) The Greenmarket program had only begun in 1976. McPhee worked for several months for Hodgson Farm of Newburgh, N.Y., manning stands (in "black Harlem," Union Square, the Upper East Side and Brooklyn) and observing the initial interactions between farmers--who were new to selling on the streets of the city--and urbanites, who were often clueless about agriculture but, of course, were also finicky know-it-alls.

Notice What You Notice
"It's basically an inverted D-major seventh chord, composed of a D, then a high C sharp and ending with a low F sharp," explained Wes Chappell, a Fret Mill clerk and musician who identified Old Gabriel's notes at a reporter's request. "At the very end it slides down to an A-major chord."

Asked for his artistic interpretation, Chappell offered: "It starts out a little hopeful, then it gets a little dissonant, as if it's reminding you of something — like, to get up and go to work."

The Cornell Note-Taking System
Forty years ago, Walter Pauk (1989) developed what is known as the Cornell notetaking technique to help Cornell University students better organize their notes. Today, Pauk's notetaking technique is probably the most widely used system throughout the United States.

Pauk outlines six steps in the Cornell notetaking system:

Record
