Reading ‘Round the Blogosphere

A sampling of blog posts from Literary Mama editors and friends

… or in other words: blog posts that have pulled me away from my own writing because they’re instructive, informative, interesting, or IMHO, just a plain ol’ good read…

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did and if so, please consider following or subscribing to the individual blog(s). That way, you won’t miss any posts and you’ll help build his/her readership.

At Brain, Mother, the blog for Brain, Child Magazine:  A call from school introduces Carley Moore to the fine art of nitpicking,  which she describes as “a very particular kind of hard focused labor”  in On Nitpicking and Co-Parenting.

At Write On Mamas: “I thought that overseeing my writing group’s anthology as a self-published book would interfere with my own writing. Instead it made me a stronger writer,” writes LM’s Profiles Editor Joanne Hartman, in Editing Matters. Read more about the group’s recently-released book on our blog — it’s part of our summer line-up of book giveaways.

At Mental Floss:  You could spend an entire morning listening to these 19 Rare Recordings of Famous Authors. I suggest you start at the top and incorporate one into your get-the-muse-going routine for each of the next 19 days.

At Huffington Post: LM Contributor Lisa Sadikman‘s post 4 Truths About Our Post-Baby Bodies was a hit in the social media circles. She writes about her 6 Minutes and 9 Seconds of Fame on her blog, Flingo.
