Saturday Spotlight #5

Zev Hoover, Age 14: Homeschooled Photo-Artist Makes it Big Online
Pretty amazing what one boy of fourteen can do! And I especially like the fact that he can do good creative designing. :)

How to Push Through When You Want to Give Up
Keeping going when you’re writing, even when you don’t feel like it. I’m sure I’ll be thankful for this post when NaNoWriMo comes around!

Instead of Granola Bars
I tried these, but forgot to put the cocoa powder in. Even without it, they were delicious! Might want to remember to keep them in the fridge, though, and/or add some coconut oil to hold it together better.

I Published My NaNo Novel! Jason Hough on the Denial that Comes With Being a New York Times Bestseller
Good thoughts—would be good to read over after NaNoWriMo. I really don’t know anything about Jason Hough, but I did like the story about someone winning NaNoWriMo and publishing their book. :)

This is a HUGE list of resources for writers—I’m sure this will come in handy sometime!

Silk – Interactive Generative Art
Something fun—and neat—for you to look at. I love the symmetry!

  1. Esther- I really don't know where you find all those awesome blogs!! You somehow manage to find all the best posts and put them into one inspiring, encouraging Saturday spotlight. I love reading the various posts you find! Thanks so much!

  2. Well, I'm glad you enjoy them! I've just come across them one at a time, and if I like what I see there I usually either sign up for an email or put their RSS feed on my Netvibes homepage.

    Then, every few days I go through and look at the new posts, and if there are some I find really neat/inspiring I use Evernote and Evernote Web Clipper to save it to my dictionary.

    Then on Saturday I pull all the different notes together into a post, delete the notes I don't want any more, and file away the others for future reading. It might look fairly complex, but from my perspective it's pretty simple. :)
