(Hi, folks! For the time being, some, most, or all of the fol­low­ing links will still revert back to the orig­i­nal Writ­ing About Writ­ing web­page over on Blog­ger. This is not a mis­take. It just takes a long time to move thou­sands of arti­cles. Thank you for your patience as we nav­i­gate this tran­si­tion.)

Doing Shit… “As a Writer”

Insights into non-writ­ing, non-read­ing events that still have some­thing to say for the writer pay­ing atten­tion.  Events as pedes­tri­an as rid­ing the bus or as unique as a funer­al all have lessons for the writer who approach­es them with an open heart and mind.

And yes, you are TOTALLY sup­posed to tilt your head dramatically–preferably into a crosswind—when you say “as a writer.”

A/V Media Movies, Shows, Etc…)

Events and Places (Conventions/Museums/Etc…)

Ques­tions? Com­ments? Want a future arti­cle to go into more detail? Mail me through our con­tact form. Just be sure to pick the right top­ic from the drop down menu, and check the archives—particularly the F.A.Q.—to see if your ques­tion has been asked before.

If you’re enjoy­ing this blog, and would like to see more arti­cles like this one, the writer is a guy with rent and insur­ance to pay who would love to spend more time writ­ing. Please con­sid­er con­tribut­ing to my Patre­on. As lit­tle as $3/month (less-than-a-lat­te a month) will get you in on backchan­nel con­ver­sa­tions, patron-only polls, and my spe­cial ear when I ask for advice about future projects or blog changes.

Or if a one-time dona­tion (or some type of non-mon­e­tary dona­tion) is more your speed, I have a Tip Jar with all the ways to help.
