I nearly forgot that it was Saturday! How silly of me. I found some fun posts this week to share. After a day of playing tennis (I was tempted wear khaki shorts and a polo shirt, but I refrained) with my little sister and her friend, I had to come home and relax! I’m not the youth I once was, unfortunately.

First up today is from literary agent Rachelle Gardner who wrote a neat post explaining how book royalties work. I found it fascinating. Most of us, I would hope, are not in this for the money, but it’s nice to know what you might be able to expect anyway.

Next up is a funny grammar post I found about the use of “that.” Or rather, the misuse of it. Everyone likes a good grammar lesson, yea?

Author C. Patrick Schulz wrote a fantastic piece about storytelling this week. It outlines the basic 12 steps (not to quit drinking) for writing a story. With some examples of each step.

I don’t work on books for children, but I thought this next post was fun too. Or perhaps fun is not a good word for it. I can’t imagine the people that put all their faith and hope into one query. Don’t let your dreams get crushed people, this game is about persistence!
