choosing a hybrid publisher

Liked Writer’s Workshop: 3 Reasons I Chose a Hybrid Publisher (K E Garland)

First things first. It’s good. I almost feel like it’s too good for me to publish. Like you could get an agent, and do a proposal, and go traditional. Honestly, I’m happy to suppo…

Interesting thoughts about choosing a publisher that’s somewhere between an indie press and a vanity publisher.

nobody cares about your blog

Liked Nobody cares about your blog by Alex Molas (alexmolas.com)

I started writing on my blog some years ago, and since then I’ve had a lot of reasons to stop writing. Here’s a list of why nobody cares about your blog:

and that’s fine!

The McNulty spectrum

Liked I am on the McNulty Spectrum (Jay Little – Software Obsessionist)

So over the last few weeks, I have been re-watching one of my favorite television shows of all time, The Wire. If you haven’t seen it, you should probably rectify that oversight. That being what it is, I’m currently making my way through Season 3 and I had a revelation of sorts: I might be a McNulty.

wikicamp jour 3

wikicamp jour 3: besoin de 16 heures de sommeil, envie de plage. ah oui et rdv aux élections du conseil d’administration de #Wikimédia France :)) (j’ai aussi appris les bases d’inkscape pour enfin faire une carte du disque-monde sans copyright,[ez-toc][ez-toc] et c’était vraiment super !)

Replied to Speaking in different languages by Pablo Morales (lifeofpablo.com)

I wrote a post a few weeks ago about writing content in other languages and marking it up using h-entry tags. There is something so satisfying to write in different languages. Different parts of my brain activate and it works differently in each language. I also « become a different » person as each l…

pablo, félicitations pour ta première vidéo et bon courage pour ton apprentissage du français !

wikicamp jour 2

mon cerveau est liquéfié mais j’ai eu droit à quelques panels super intéressants au #WikiCamp2023, dont un sur le programme « Wikimédiens en résidence » auprès des universités et un sur la dynamisation des groupes locaux, qui me crée pas mal d’interrogations sur les projets Wikimédia à Grenoble.

Creating moments of joy

This post is written for the IndieWeb carnival; the prompt is Moments of Joy, by James. Of course, for moments of joy, I first considered telling you about gender, because I’ve just spent a month celebrating that. But Pablo wrote about Pride for the same carnival. Then, I thought maybe I could write about my…
