Writing Links
To celebrate Draft Zero of Chapter 7, which has been giving me fuckings but is defeated at last, have some links.
In which I Critique Your Story (That I Haven't Read) has proved invaluable in redrafting Strange Flesh.
Whether or not you relate to the experiences of the women in this blog entry, everyone can benefit from its advice: Write Like A Motherfucker. Nothing else will do.
We Asked 8 Famous Authors For The Most Important Advice They’d Give To Young Writers. (See if you can guess what Zadie Smith is talking about.)
Why your self-published book looks like a pile of ass and won’t ever make you any money
Engagement and Popularity in Fiction — Sad Puppies Are Sad - a series of tweets by Nick Mamatas about the different level of effort required to read different books, and how that plays into books' popularity and reputation. More than just sticking it to the Pups, I found it insightful in and of itself (and relevant to my eschewing fanfic while others embrace it, although that also has a hell of a lot to do with lack of time).
Really great review of The Left-Handed Hummingbird by Grafty at the Gallifey Base forum.
ESTIMATE WIDTH OF WORLD by MixolydianGrey is a Colossal Cave Adventure fanfic based on the poetry of Edna St Vincent Millay. I merely mention the fact.
From Pyongyang to Mars: Sci-fi, Genre, and Literary Value in North Korea
Russell T Davies interviewed by the Guardian last January.
Clive James TV reviews from the 70s: March of the androids (The Six Million Dollar Man) and Negative, Captain (Star Trek). Old favourites.
Finally (if you haven't already seen it) eat shit and die #233 on uplifting stories.
And now into the gaping cosmic maw of Chapter Eight.
