Everyone having fun back at work after the long weekend?
A little spring cleaning note: I will begin going through my sidebar links and removing the ones that connect to blogs where there have not been any new postings for two months. The one exception will be Miss Snark, which shall remain as a memorial to one of the coolest literary blogs of all time.
Now to the writer links! Continue reading
So, my little experiment of setting aside the link soups in favor of just posting whenever I read something interesting? Yeah, that didn’t turn out so well. I would read something, tell myself to remember to blog about it, then forget to blog about it.
In other words, that plan was chock full o’ fail.
But, never let it be said that I don’t respond rationally to contrary data! Back to the status quo ante we go, with this week’s collection of links dedicated to the writers I read online.
This week’s writer links begin with two approaches to critique groups: Becky Levine tells us what to expect from her critiques, while Brandi Guthrie at Cursings and Musings discusses what advice to take and what not to take.
Lydia Sharp at The Sharp Angle explains No. 11 of the 52 Qualities of the Prosperous Writer: Good Health. Also, kudos to Lydia for pointing the way to this cool writing advice video on YouTube.
On Not Being Able To Write writer ellanbethia lays out her rejection-letter goals, and Juliette Wade at Talk to YoUniverse discusses choosing the right narrator.
Les Edgerton (to whom I introduced you in my analysis of Jeremy) takes a few deep dives into: Southern Stereotypes, Censorship and Why I Love Charles Bukowski, and his new-found talent as a Goldfish Whisperer.
Finally, Jade Smith serves up a creepy piece of flash fiction in “pawnshop visitor.” (I’m following her capitalization convention here.)
Enjoy! And, Happy Give-Me-Liberty Day!
