working writer wonders...

A BLOG WHEREIN WE WAX RUEFUL UPON: THINGS A WORKING WRITER WONDERS ABOUT. THINGS A WONDERING WRITER WORKS ON. WONDER-FUL WRITERS. WRITER-LY WORKS. WRITING STRATEGIES THAT WORK. WORKS WE WISH WE'D WRITTEN. ROYALTIES WE WISH WE'D RECEIVED. WRITERS WHO EAT WONDER BREAD, WEAR WONDER BRAS, OR THINK THEY'RE WONDER WOMAN. WRITERS WHO ARE WONDERS OF THE WORLD, AT LEAST IN THE WONDERLAND OF THEIR OWN MINDS. IN WRITING, THE WONDERS NEVER CEASE. BUT THEN AGAIN, NEITHER DOES THE WORK.

And check back on Friday, when our "film-ette" is amusingly rejection-themed as well.
