Literary Citizenship
Before I even knew what it was, I wrote a bit about Literary Citizenship in these two previous articles - The Benefits of Reciprocity for Writers and Giving and Receiving Feedback. I recently ran across the actual term for it while reading a book by Jane Friedman called “The Business of Being a Writer,” where she gave credit to editor Rob Spillman for coining the term. Literary Citizenship is described as “activities that support reading, writing and publishing in the literary community.”

We Are All Writers
Introduction We are our own worst critics in everything. My mind is always telling me I am not good enough to write, play music, or be worthy to be friends with anyone. You know what I ignore that voice and go ahead and do it anyway. I know I am not a major player on Vocal, Medium, or anywhere but I am doing Ok for myself, with a big subscription base and a lot of reads, so I am doing something right.

Do You Have a Glimmer Journal?
When I was at community college, a guest speaker came. I don’t recall her name, and barely her face, though I think she had blonde hair…She spoke about her life living on a ranch, how she had dropped her urban upbringing and went to live on a ranch in Montana, learning the hard work of keeping horses and cows and everything else. That’s why she came, you see—to talk about the book she wrote.

How to Create Cross-Platform Mobile Applications with Xamarin
It’s the dream of software developers to write code once and use the same code for multiple projects. This dream has been a reality for quite some time now, but it comes with its own cost of maintenance, testing barriers, and, for worse, a poor user experience. In this article, we are going to explore how to use Xamarin to build cross-platform mobile applications and share the code without compromising other aspects of our project. Xamarin works by sharing code and performing memory allocation. We’re going to dive deep into the Android and iOS platforms, but you can use the same approach for any other platform as well.

I read my book
I wrote a post twenty days ago titled I wrote a book. Perhaps the person who's reading this now saw that post. Perhaps they remember that I said, "I am at the stage where it's time to read my story in full. In fact, that's my plan for this evening." Well, I lied to you. I didn't mean to do it, but I did because I didn't actually read the book until this evening. Vocal was kind enough to lift my voice and place this post as a Top Story, which put extra eyes on my project. For that, I'm so grateful. If you're here from the post, I hope you find the following musing helpful in your writing/authorial journey as well because I'm going to react to my first read-through of the book I wrote.
