There Are No Rules - December, 2008

Since my adventurous return from Thailand, I have been intensely involved in F+W responsibilities, preventing regular posts here. (Side note: F+W just unleashed a new corporate site, and it's very cool!)

In any case: In 2009, I promise better and more regular posts. For now:

Don't forget you can find me on Facebook. (When requesting me as a friend, mention the blog.)
You can follow me—and the stories I find worthy—on Google Reader
For those interested in the conclusion to my Thailand adventure, visit the Farmers & Writers blog.

Best holiday wishes, and look for great things here in 2009!

Calling All Rejected Writers
Posted by Brian

Bill Shapiro, editor of the book Other People’s Love Letters: 150 Letters You Were Never Meant to See, is at it again, this time planning to publish a collection titled Other People’s Rejection Letters, slated for publication by Random House in 2010. If you’ve got a rejection you’re willing to share (anonymously, of course), you just might have a chance to be a part of it. Click here to learn more and to submit.
