Today’s funny:

A pastor, a rabbit, and a priest walked into a restaurant.

The rabbit says, “I think I’m a typo in this story.”

Writer’s Block Becomes Writer’s Talk

Seth Godin once wrote in a blog post: No one ever gets talker’s block. No one wakes up in the morning, discovers he has nothing to say and sits quietly, for days or weeks, until the muse hits, until the moment is right, until all the craziness in his life has died down. What a liberating concept! It reminded me of a great book by Joel Saltzman, If You Can Talk, You Can Write. Of course, …

What Entered the Public Domain in 2025?

I try to post something about this every year. This year is no exception. In the United States, under U.S. copyright law, works published in 1929 and earlier are now in public domain. One can publish them or use them without securing copyright permission. In case you are wondering about the specifics, the Copyright Term Extension Act (passed in 1998) gave works published from 1923 through 1977 a …

The 1972 Olympic Games saw one of history’s most iconic come-from-behind races. Watch it again today and be inspired by Dave Wottle. (The 800 meter race is twice around the track.) The lesson? When it seems you are too far behind. When it looks like every other writer already knows everything. When you probably should just give up. Keep running. Keep working at your craft. Every writer you …

write your first novel book cover image

Thomas Umstattd Jr. interviews Steve Laube   Thomas: So, you’re thinking about writing a novel. You’ve tried your hand at writing a few times, but the story just hasn’t come together. Or maybe you wrote and wrote, but you didn’t quite like what you wrote. The method of starting to write and hoping for the best is the hardest way to write a novel. It’s like trying to …

Collecting autographs can be fun but often a daunting challenge if you are a bit shy about asking. Even more fun as an author to be asked! Today’s video is an incredible story of a man who traveled the world and collected 50,000 signatures … in one large book. Wow!

Bring the Books (What Steve Laube Is Looking For)

(Updated 1/13/2025) “Bring the books, especially the parchments,” is a sentence in 2 Timothy 4:13 that has teased readers for 2,000 years. What books did the Apostle Paul want to read while waiting for trial? Theology? History? How-to? (Maybe a little escape reading? Pun intended.) Another writer chimed in a while ago by saying, “Of making many books there is no end” (Ecclesiastes 12:12). And if …

It is a healthy exercise to reflect on the previous year’s events. The culture around us is ever-changing and ever-sliding into darkness and debauchery. But the goodness of God remains unchanged despite attempts to proclaim otherwise. The following is an attempt to review some things in the industry, our agency, and a few other areas. The Industry The longer I’ve been in this industry, the …
