Yeah, the title has nothing to do with the content of this post, but everything to do with how I’m feeling. It is a perfect spring day in Oregon and here are some of the great links I’ve read this past week, or maybe a little longer.
Writing
Your hero embodies the theme.
Fiction triggers-where do ideas come from?
Oh, right. And then there’s that matter of talent.
Make writing that first draft easier. (I could have used this with my just-finished mess WIP.)
Keeping goals and writing fresh.
How to show internal dialogue. (Please read this if you are a writer who loves to put thoughts in italics.)
If, like me, you are obsessed with the never-ending quest for the perfect journal, you’ll enjoy this post.
Marketing
Behind the scenes of a bestselling launch. (I was part of the “street team” that helped promote this book, and getting a bit of an inside view of the operation was fascinating.)
Other Good Stuff
Laura’s Munson’s lovely tribute to the late Jim Harrison.
