Super busy week and while I made a list of stuff to go sift through and then share if worthwhile, hurrying to see how many I can actually check out for this week.
ConDFW was a blast, but totally disrupted my usual time allotments for things. lol. Oh well! :P
Conferences
Shared by @DFW_Writers - Conferences are all about Networking. (Too true! And something I need to do better at. I'm almost as bad as the lady mentioned in the blog. People who know me are shocked to discover that until I get to meet someone, I'm way shy.) :)
Fan Fun
From @feliciaday - Felicia Day breathes fire into the Dragon Age Series. (She wrote and is in this new web series. Go Felicia!)
Publishing
From @literaticat - Why publishing takes forever! (Slow, slow, sssslllllooooowwwww - been there, done that, and it's not just for the Big Boys either. :P)
Social Media
Shared by @ChuckWending - Ten mindful ways to use social media. (I know I don't do as good as I should on these. :P)
From @KristenLambTX - Introverts and Extroverts on Twitter. (Plus flash back to the 80s!):P
From @KristenLambTX - More Twitter tips! Don't be a Debbie Downer Twit! (Good stuff. And never forget, once on the internet, it's there forever! Dum dum dum!!!!)
Writing Advice
Shared by @ChuckWendig - Writers and Unrealistic Goals! (Too true!)
From @ChuckWendig - The WritersSurvival Guide. (Some very good points!) NSFW!
Shared by @DelReySpectra - To Blurb or Not To Blurb. (I've actually run into this! I'm also too chicken to ask for someone else to do it for the same reasons. lol)
Shared by @DelReySpectra - When the writing's not working. (Some good tips here!)
From @KristenLambTX - POV - Point of View. (This is one of the biggies for beginning writers.)

Mind Sieve 2/7/11
Got stuck at home almost all of last week due to unheard of amounts of snow and ice in Dallas! Just when the ice was going away, icy snow took it's place. It's been INSANE! (Probably because two north football teams were playing in the Superbowl here. They brought it with them! *gasp* At least they felt at home?)
So this let me try to catch up some on writer matters a little, so this week's showing will hopefully be better than last week's. :P
Contests
Shared by @yabookscentral - Win your Dream Gown - ($300 gift card) open for 13+ and is international!
Shared by @LucienneDiver - Win a Kindle or Nook for Valentine's.
From @DeidreKnight - Win an iPOD Nano from On The Hunt
Conventions/Conferences
From @DFWCon - DFW Writer's Conference - why and how it came to be!
Fan Fun
Shared by @crispintreeman - Gigantor as a prop to sell wireless laptop connections. So COOL!
Games
Shared by @NAME - 3rd Birthday - new game for Parasite Eve has Agent Walker (Yvonne Strahovski) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) doing some of the voices. YES!
Podcasts
Shared by ME! - New Broad Universe podcast - topic is Faith and Fear (readings and more)
Several of my friends are also doing podcasts. I've linked to WanderRadio before, and this time out I figured I'd point you in the direction of two more. Melanie and Jerry are both funny, very likable people, and nutty, too! heh heh (There are NOT safe for work and can get explicit! You've been warned.) The first podcast center is called ""Don't Quit Your Day Job". Currently up is Episode 127 - where Melanie lisps through her Invisaligns, Patrick discusses his past in the porn industry, Jerry explains MediaFly to us all, and Stacy...well, Cthulhu knows where she is. (I was told the podcasts are really supposed to be about writing but.. lol)EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING
The second one is called "Slow Death in the Afternoon" and Episode 5 is up for consumption. Their tag line is "Join Dan and Jerry as they follow the Absinthe Muse into places they shouldn't really go. Ever." He tells me it is a niche market for absinthe enthusiasts. (Who knew?) EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING
Though I have "In the Service of Samurai" serialized as a podcast over at Podiobooks.com, I personally haven't jumped into the wagon yet. One of these days I will be able clone myself and enjoy and do so much more than I can now. Right? RIGHT?! lol
Science
Shared by @emoontx - The search for Earth 2.0
Writing Advice
From MorganMandel - Throw Editing questions at Editors on Mondays
From @ChuckWendig - What makes a good story?
From @ChuckWendig - Self-publishing reality check!
Shared by Kathy Sullivan - Money flow for Traditional and Indie Pubs
From Kathy Sullivan - Libraries and Research
That's it for last week. Enjoy!
