Notes For October 9th, 2009
Vote For Us Again!
As you know, the Internet Writing Workshop - http://internetwritingworkshop.org/ - won last year's Writer's Digest award for being one of the 101 Best Websites For Writers. Now, we need your vote for this year's award!
Scroll down to the very bottom of this page, and you'll find our nomination box. Click on the link, and an e-mail window will pop up with the correct address and subject line. All you have to do is type in your letter of nomination and send it.
The deadline for sending in your nomination is January 1, 2010. We thank you very much for your support, without which, the Workshop would not have become the valuable writing resource that it is.
Quote Of The Day
"We live in a world ruled by fictions of every kind - mass merchandising, advertising, politics conducted as a branch of advertising, the instant translation of science and technology into popular imagery, the increasing blurring and intermingling of identities within the realm of consumer goods, the preempting of any free or original imaginative response to experience by the television screen. We live inside an enormous novel. For the writer in particular it is less and less necessary for him to invent the fictional content of his novel. The fiction is already there. The writer's task is to invent the reality." - J.G. Ballard
Vanguard Video
Today's video features a two-part presentation on setting up a properly formatted manuscript with your word processor. Though Word is used here, the advice in this presentation can be used with any word processing software. I use OpenOffice Writer myself. Enjoy the show!
