Several blog posts for writers are in line: one on my notes from the Writer's Center's Leesburg First Friday lecture about "Staying Focused: Writing and Researching the Longer Book Project," also a note about the fabulous panel at the recent Virginia Book Festival in Charlottesville and-- more!-- the jaw-dropping "Writing the Future" conference at the Writer's Center with Lee Gutkind and company. That one, truly, changed the paradigm for me and I'll be blogging about that soon. But I'm on deadline (past deadline, actually) to turn in some translations, so today's post is brief.
