"All you need to be a writer is a pen and paper," is something you might say if you're one of those smug savants who can just sit down and write an entire novel longhand.
But for the rest of us? Well, we can take all the help we can get. Naturally, there are the everyday low-fi accessories that every writer should already have in their arsenal, like notebooks and a reliable pen. But there are also a bunch of high tech tools that the interwebs can offer us.

I discovered my first podcast in 2012 vis-à-vis Grantland (RIP). I'm a fútbol fangirl, and Men in Blazers became my regular fix of soccer talk with a side of witty banter. I was an original GFOP, what the co-hosts, Roger Bennett and Michael Davies, called "Great Friends of the Pod." Before this first serious foray into podcasts, I had been a longtime public radio consumer.

The majority of America's largest newspapers continue to employ digital subscription strategies that prioritize traffic, ad revenues, and promotion — despite the ongoing collapse of display ad rates.
Even as they've added paying Web subscribers by the hundreds of thousands, daily newspapers have decisively rejected an all-in approach featuring "hard" website paywalls that mimic their print business models.

Mic's website audience is tanking by millions of readers a month — and if it continues, it just may save online journalism.

Facebook is often used interchangeably with platform domination. But some publishers are shifting their attention beyond Facebook. In interviews, several revealed they're either spending less time on Facebook either in absolute or relative to time they're spending on other platforms.
Facebook is still a big source of referral traffic for publishers overall. But it has declined as a referral source relative to Google.

The tweets in your timeline are about to get super-sized. Twitter said that it has started testing 280-character tweets, doubling the previous character limit, in an effort to help users be more expressive.

Many fine gardens are candidates for visiting and enjoying, but only one garden matters, and that's your own.
Yours may amount to a narrow urban yard or just a few containers on a patio. It's not the space you have, it's how you shape it to love it that counts.
To me there isn't much difference between an empty yard, where the owner grudgingly mows a weedy lawn, and a six-figure landscaped lot.

Spiders.
You either hate them or don't mind them. I rarely find someone who likes them, however.
I love spiders when they are in the garden doing their job: feeding on other insects. I don't really mind them when they are in the house. Just a little squish with the foot takes care of that.
You might consider putting spiders back outside if you find them in the house, but that may not work. If they are spiders that normally reside inside, they won't survive the outdoors.

Back in August, I was lucky enough to be able to present at this year's GWA Conference in Buffalo, N.Y. I presented about search engine optimization, sharing the stage with the brilliant and well-known boutique landscape company owner Jan Bills, who is also an expert at Facebook marketing.
This was the second GWA conference I attended, so I knew what to expect from the conference itself.
However, I had never presented before, so this was definitely a learning experience.
