Well, I've got quite a lot of links to share with you all. So here goes:
- Here is some excellent advice on how to take criticism from Copy Write.
- Great article from Larry Niven on making up words in SF/F.
- This is a bit old, but I like it: 11 literary references people make without realizing it. I don't agree that all of them are unknown, but it's a good list nonetheless.
- Want to flood the world and see what will happen if Global Warming melts all the ice? Well go no further than here! I've used this site for a couple short stories, actually.
- This writing site is really quite cute. I thought it was for kids at first, but really it's just using cute monster things to further the writing agenda, which is awesome.
- Old Bat's Belfry talks about how she uses social networking for her blog. Might be of interest to some of you out there who are blogging or are interested in it.
- Also from the author of Old Bat's Belfry (Mulluane) comes this awesome Squidoo lens that highlights all the twitter feeds for various authors, book bloggers, etc. in the SF/F community. I'm in it, in case anyone is curious (and you can certainly vote me up the list to make me feel more awesome than I already do).
- I'm not sure how legal this is, but here is a program that allows you to download books from Google Books.
- The Book Publicity Blog asks whether email is outdated. I don't think it is, what about you?
- The Big Bad Book Blog has an awesome list on how much money authors make, along with some nifty sales figures and other interesting stiff about publishing you might want to know.
- Job Profiles has a list of 50 open source resources for writers. A lot of really nifty stuff there that you might want to check out.

Thanks for posting a link to my giveaway!
ReplyDelete"Is email outdated?", I don't think so. Email still has it purposes, one being is it's the most common use of electronic communication. Both parties don't need to belong to the same ISP or be on Twitter or Facebook and so on, to communicate. The second reason it is the simplest, easiest was to communicate and most people on the web have an email account or two.
Take care,

You're welcome!
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree, it certainly is one of the most easiest to use communication tools. I don't think it's outdated at all.
