Finding a Keeper: Ypulse

Ypulse is one of those sites I’ve seen several times, but for one reason or another, never quite got around to visiting. Until today.

I read a great interview on Shelli Wells’ blog, Market My Words, from one of the folksjumping1 at Ypulse. That’s all the little push I needed to check out this marketing site aimed at tweens, teens and young adults.

If you write for tweens, teens, or young adults, it might behoove you to take a look, too. Wonder what they’re reading? Ypulse can you tell that. What the kids are watching? Ypulse can you tell that, too. The newest fad in youth foods?

Um, well, I’ll bet if there is a new fad in food going on with the under 20 crowd, Ypulse would know. In fact, I think I’ll look it up now. And quite possibly write my next kid’s story about it.

What do you need to know? Bet you’ll find out at Ypulse.

Finding Time In a Writing Bottle

I don’t know about you, but I never seem to have enough time to do all the things I want to do (once I’ve found them)…hey, someone should make a song about that.

Anyway, I have issues with finding time. I make my goals, tick off my lists, and usually get the important things done. But there always seems to be something left on my To Do List, something I never…quite…get…to. And when I read Kristi Holl’s posts over at Writer’s First Aid this week, I knew that her voice was adding to the little voice in my head.

The little voice telling me to give up a short term goal that was impacting my long term goals. I mean, I hate to give up a little writing money. But I’m hoping it pays off in future big bucks.

Because there’s only so much writing time in that bottle.

(But if you have a tid bit of time left over,  check out Kristi’s First Aid for a little writing help. She’s so worth the visit!)
