Link Love: Blog Posts and Websites
January 25th 2010 13:11
I've been doing a lot of writing related web wandering lately, and I've stumbled across some great reading material. So here goes...
Blog Posts
~How I got Published: Josa Young tells one woman's extraordinary path to getting a book published. It seems that she spent a lot of time doing nonfiction writing work and just kind of stumbled into getting a novel published.
What does this tell us? It tells us that there are those of us who will struggle for years to get published, and those who miraculously fall into it. Most of the ones who struggle are the ones who hit the big time-but never fear, you could be like Eragon. Preferrably not, 'cause those aren't very well written books.
~Lolcat Building: An Exercise In Creativity I'm linking this post because it's both interesting and lolcatty, and there are few things I love as much as Lolcats.
~Six Questions For Jennifer Dawson is an interview of an editor who works for a flash fiction magazine. The blog itself is made up entirely of six-question interviews of different editors. So far I'm really enjoying it.
Other Sites
~Little Details is a livejournal community of writers who know their stuff. I've spent the last hour or two wandering their stuff and bookmarked it so that I can spend several more hours wandering their stuff.
~Human Anatomy Model is a website that shows you pretty much everything you need to know about the basics of human anatomy. Great stuff.
Of course it also wouldn't do to go entirely without a brief mention of the earthquake in Haiti, considering how much I've heard on the news about it over the last couple of weeks. I hope that you will send your prayers and any money that you can send to the people of Haiti. I will definitely be keeping them in my line of thought, and you'll probably see a poem or something similar about Haiti here in the next few days.
You can donate to Haiti by clicking here.
Thanks for reading!

I'm sorry that I misunderstood the post. I read it as there had been struggle and a lot of work in the nonfiction market, but that you'd gotten your fiction published rather easily, possibly because of your nonfiction work.
