(and more are coming)
Not sure when Lindsey going to be posting the NaNotoons that Errol and I co-wrote, but I'm going to start posting comics from past NaNoWriMo events:
Quite a few of you have asked me if I was going to post daily NaNoWriMo comics this month. Sorry, but I've just got way too much going on right now to manage this BUT my friend Errol and I are contributing three comics a week (they didn't want more than that) to the NaNoWriMo blog! They should start appearing soon, I think; I'll post here when I notice any are up, though the NaNoWriMo site seems to still be in the birthing throes.
I'll also be posting some NaNo comics from last year, in case any of you missed them. :-)
I've posted a new comic over on Writer Unboxed: "The Paperless Office."

I've posted a new comic up on Writer Unboxed: "Not An Old Wives' Tale After All...."
Inspired by a Wall conversation I had with kidlit author Arthur Slade on his Facebook wall, I've posted a new comic on Writer Unboxed. I post new comics for writers over there on the first and third Saturdays of each month.
I've posted a new comic on Writer Unboxed today. My comics appear on this site on the first and third Saturdays of every month.
I lack the time to do a SCBWI countdown comic for this year, but here are the comics I did for last year's conference:
Hope to see meet some of you at the conference!

I have a new comic up at Writer Unboxed. Title: Writers On Vacation.
I've posted a new comic over on Writer Unboxed, for those interested.
The bulk of my Squarespace move is finished, though I still have quite a few tweaks to go. Still, it's SO GOOD to finally get back to my own writing! Also a relief to Google my name & Inkygirl pages and NOT get pharmaceutical hacked info. But back to my own writing...
More and more people have been inquiring about where they can buy a print collection of my comics, so I've (finally) written a nonfiction book proposal featuring compilation of my best Inkygirl and Will Write For Chocolate comics. I plan to send it out soon, but obviously I want to include samples of my work.
Do you recall a favourite comic of mine you think I should include in the proposal? If so, please describe it below.
For those who missed my earlier post, by the way, I've started a separate blog feed for just my Inkygirl comics and am gradually uploading the archives, one comic at a time. The goal of this separate blog is to make it easier for people to find comics on a particular topic for posting in their blogs, using in their presentations, etc. I'm tagging and categorizing as I go.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Some writers are able to switch off their computers and stay off e-mail and the Web all day. Freelance writers who rely at least partly on client work for income, however, sometimes don't have this luxury. The Internet can be a wonderful resource for writers but it can also be a major timesuck.
To those who DO have to go online at least a few times a day: How do you manage your time online? Do you limit the amount of time you spend on social networking sites? What tricks and tips can you offer others? What -doesn't- work for you?
Thanks to those who entered my cartoon caption contest. The winner: John Hewitt of Poewar fame. I've been a fan of John's Poewar: Writing Career Center since its early days.
