Where the Mind Sprocket staff writes about inspiration, communication, culture, storytelling, and more.

The Back Page is where the feet go up on the desk at the end of the day. It’s that good book with a mug of hot cocoa just before bed. It’s where we goof off after a hard day’s work. The Back Page is our blog.

It’s almost that time again …

by Lindsey Charlton on October 20, 2009

As November approaches, friendly emails start arriving in my inbox, trying to get me geared up for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). I look forward to NaNoWriMo all year, and yet now as I consider the fact that I have no idea what I want to write about let alone have an outline for […]

We welcome warmly […]

Important Status Report

by Lindsey Charlton on March 15, 2009

Ohmygoodness!  The chipmunk from my last post … I saw him again today.  He sat on the rock on our porch for a few minutes, and he didn’t move.  And then he put a bit of something in his mouth and chewed it, his left back leg started twitching like crazy, and he bolted out […]

The end of advertisements on Mind Sprocket (hooray!)

by Edward Atkinson on December 30, 2008

If you look around the Mind Sprocket website, you will be most pleased to find that there are no advertisements! We’ve nixed them for good. We all have a strong dislike for ads and are happy to remove them from the website. In many ways, ads just don’t really fit with Mind Sprocket or what […]

Documenting the Unseen update: editing is done, sent to our designer

by Edward Atkinson on September 22, 2008

On Saturday, I finished the final edits of every last article and editorial piece for Documenting the Unseen (our soon-to-be-released print publication).  I am absolutely ecstatic!  Putting together a print publication is a monster task in comparison to online publishing.  I’ve gone close to insane checking over and over and over again every last sentence, […]

Not what you want it to be.
Is it ever what you expected?
No, probably not.
Are you okay with that?
