Torture, Reducing Stress, and the Triple T of Publishing

I've stumbled upon a new method of torture. It comes in the form of my 10-year-old twin sons begging me for a cell phone. Every. Single. Day. A writer could learn lessons from my sons, as they don't let rejection get in their way of accomplishing a goal.

Over at Rants & Ramblings, guest blogger Mary De Muth wrote about "The Triple T" in the publishing world. She says wanna be's, newly published, and multi-published authors need to be tenacious, talkative, and teachable. Are my twins reading blogs and I don't know about it?

A fun little goodie on this Tuesday morning. Both India Drummond and Vicki Rocho blogged about The Wasteline Test at Writer's Diet. This was fun! Thankfully, my sample was diagnosed as "lean." Probably because I've worked chapter one to death!
