Big Fat Cheater Pants
I am behind today. There are many reasons, including the holiday weekend (in the US Monday was Columbus Day) and the fact that someone was Put Out about having to run in almost rain conditions. Can you tell?
Instead of rocketing along at near-heart attack pace, we took a more leisurely approach today. Which was wonderful for my lungs, but not so great for time management. So I am asking you to go and play with these links, and I’ll be back next week with a real post.
What does your brain look like on Jane Austen? NPR finds out.
Are you a gritty writer or reader? My friend Vaughn Roycroft asks the question over on his blog. (My answer: Not so much. The world is a pretty gritty place already, and I try not to add to it. My reading exception is John Sanford, whose Prey books and hero are awfully gritty but very compelling.)
Can changing your genre change your career? Newly repped author Kell Andrews thinks so.
And finally, what causes a published author to disappear? (Besides grumpy Slobbering Beasts and poor time management skills?) Find out here. (Link stolen from the wonderfully readable Jan O’Hara.)
Happy Reading!
Thanks for including my link, Liz! In addition to the links, sounds like I should check Sanford out. Great/hilarious shot of the slobbering beast! Good luck getting caught up!
Your post was very interesting, Vaughn — happy to share it. (And as to the getting caught up, not so much…)
