...or that would be typealysing in my part of the world.
Saw this on
Argh Ink and thought what could be more fun than analysing your blog's personality.
Sit down over here, Bronz Blog, and make yourself comfortable. I have a few questions about your childhood... I ran thsi address through the
Typealyzer a week or two back and then again today. Two different results BUT both were in the same sector of the chart which shows the dominant parts of the brain used during writing. Which parts? That would be the thinking (logic, maths), practical, and sensing (order, habit, detail.) Nothing happening in the intuitive or feeling sectors for me, no sirree.
Got me there.

A quick update on the on-line workshop Anne Gracie and I are doing in January, in support of the fundraising auction for Jo Leigh.
The 10 places in the workshop are up for
auction on eBay this week, closing
Saturday 7pm Pacific and
2pm Sunday Australian eastern daylight.
That's tomorrow. The way I understand the fine print on multi-item lots: everyone pays the same price and that price is set at the lowest of the successful bids. Good luck and don't forget to check out the other delectable goodies.
I'm writing this ahead of time (on Thursday) and at this point there are hugely undervalued critique opportunities from smart and talented authors such as Emily McKay and Julie Miller and Nancy Warren and Cheyenne McCray and Joanne Rock and...too many to keep on listing. Some have only just been posted and there are more to come so bookmark the site, check often, and don't let the opprtunity pass you by.
ETA: The auction has closed with $1100 raised for Jo. Anne and I are delighted with the result and looking forward to a fabulous month of workshopping in January. Congratulations to the lucky (and can I say smart?) ten.Labels: For Jo Leigh, romance writing workshop
1. When a popular musical comes to your country theatre for a strictly limited season, book early.
2. Entertainment with mass appeal knows exactly how to target its audience.
3. Playing to the cliches works; they are cliches because they're truths.
4. Universal truths carry powerful emotional resonance, even when those truths are hot flushes, night sweats, forgetfulness, slow thinking, sagging bits, wrinkles, and mothers' little helpers.
5. There is nothing wrong with using archetypes as shorthand to establish character.
6. A theatre full of middle aged women creates considerable warmth.
7. Laughing at yourself is good.
8. Laughing at yourself along with several hundred other women is even better.
9. Some men are very brave...they laughed, too.
10. At the end of the day, it's attitude that counts. We should never forget that we're all smart, sexy women no matter our age, size, shape or perceived status.

If you've been thinking about an eReader for Christmas (or just because) but can't decide which is the best for for your needs, check out the excellent articles at Dear Author. The first compares
dedicated eReaders and the second looks at
multifunction tools such as PDAs, iPhones and mini PCs. I'm still happy with my PDA which doesn't stop me windowshopping and wanting all the new gadgetry.
I don't need a mini PC. I know I don't. The pic is a miniHP which I absolutely Do. Not. Need. Just. Because. Of. The. Prettiness.Labels: Christmas gifts, eBooks, eReaders, other blogs
