From a telemarketer, how best to deal with them.

kung fu grippe : Writing and Rejection.

One of the finest pieces I've ever read on looking at the writing-rejection-writing process. By Merlin. I <3 Merlin.

A lovely, restrained piece about love and restraint.

Justine Musk runs it down for you: writing = writing + reading. Or, as a teacher of hers once said, take the time you currently devote to writing, split in half, devote one to reading. (via Ben Casnocha)

Another take on the old equation of luck being where preparation meets opportunity (this one adds "overcoming inertia" or "shitcanning fear" or "taking the initiative").

Jordan Reid tells the story of her forced decampment from a hit cable series just after the pilot. There are volumes here for the smart actor (or young lady) to learn about life, work and alliances, not to mention being kind to your younger, more naive self.

Fantastic advice to sort out the kind of self-generated work one should look into by doing a simple question/sort at the front end. Love that Jared Goralnick!

Know what you want to say. Say it with clarity and, for the love of all that's holy, a little passion, if you can muster any. A fine and hilarious take-down and rewrite by Merlin Mann.

Make stuff, don't just point to other people making stuff. (via Merlin Mann, and YES, I get the irony of that there)

We're all busy. Look inward at your need to say it, and outwardly, see what you can do to help.
