Ten women. Ten authors. Ten bloggers.Every blogger is a writer, but these women have something else to bring to the table - they show us how they translate the professional writer's medium to the everyday space of a weblog. They give us a glimpse of how daily life can be told in art. A double whammy, but the good kind.Take Jennifer Weiner, for instance. She's written several bestsellers, and her lovely In Her Shoes became a movie, released in 2005, starring Cameron Diaz. One of the other stars, Shirley Maclaine, was nominated for a Golden Globe. But Jennifer blogs about her dog, her little girl, and her husband, in addition to her book tours and interviews. Plus a dash of gossip.These women write about the world, the "real" and the literary one. It's an inspiration and a rich resource.Related Top 10 Sources: Books | Science Fiction | Humor

Have done no writing yet. But my youngest does stop-motion videos, and he and I put together his most recent one–a process that took four days and about twenty hours.

Did that headline shock you? If so, you need to brush up on your copyright facts. Plagiarism is a moral issue, not a legal one. Copying someone else's work and presenting it as your own is dishonest, but it is not necessarily illegal. If I didn't possess a conscience and have such a sharp bunch of editors at Steeple Hill...

Jess has asked this question: “In all your years of writing books, did you ever come up short in word count?” Word count never came up until I signed with Ballantine about five years ago. No one said anything about it. I wrote until it was finished. Some books were longer than others. ...
