Laurie Halse Anderson has a great post about revising with a “roadmap” here. I think this approach is a great idea, and it’s flexible, too; if you needed to add a column to track a B plot, or a magical item, or the movements of the villain behind the scenes, that would be pretty easy. There are lots of ways to revise, of course, but if you’re stuck on how to start, this could be fun, especially if you love organization and visuals. Yes, Hermione, you could use a couple of different highlighters, too.

Diverse Worlds grant for SF/F authors
Via my friend Faye:
…My friend Ellen in Orbit and I are running the New York City marathon this November and decided to raise funds for a charity. I know diversity in SF/F — especially women in SF/F, is a passion for all of you, so I wanted to alert you to our marathon fundraiser – we’ve partnered together with the Speculative Literature Foundation to raise funds for a new grant called DIVERSE WORLDS, which is intended to help writers from backgrounds underrepresented in science fiction and fantasy to start and continue publishing at a professional level, both for children’s and adult.
Our page has some silly photos and more info about the grant. Please visit it here: http://www.crowdrise.com/diverseworlds
The marathon is on November 3. When I scheduled this, they’d made a little less than half of their goal–but I’m sure they’d like to surpass it!
