Some good ones! Off to check out the Star Trek one on io9.
Alex–That’s a good one!
Elizabeth – Such great links today! I like that there are several that discuss new ways to use the Internet (e.g. Wattpad) and that discuss some challenges authors will need to face (the whole Amazon thing). Much good stuff here!
Thanks, Margot! Yes, it’s great that there are so many resources available to writers now.
So many writers don’t take business cards with them to conferences and they should. Of course the amount of authors who don’t even have one really stuns me.
Diane–I know what you mean! I just had some more made up 6 months ago. They can come in handy.
OMG that post by Chuck Wendig was hilarious! Thanks for sharing all this great stuff.
Great finds as always! Your lists are becoming major blog-finding resources for me. Always looking to add great stuff to my feed reader. :)
Thanks for coming by, Jennifer!
