wait, are those links I see??
This blog post is going up a bit late but it's because I just had a fabulous Skype school visit/chat!
OH! And I got news that Between Here and Forever made Amazon's YA Summer Reading List! (And is now available for less than $10!!)*
Now, the links:
Writer Unboxed on why writers need to have (very) thick skins and symbolism (with a shout-out to the wedding that yes, I got up at 5 AM and watched live and no, I'm not sorry I did. I watch Charles and Diana get married live too and it was just-the first one looked like a fairytale and this one looked like two people who knew each other's souls)
Anyway, back to Writer Unboxed and the flip side of self-promotion--be sure to check this one out, as I think it's spot on.
Dear Author has a great post about the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books
Also from Dear Author--looks like there will be new Kindles and Nooks soon...
From the Dystel & Goderich blog: How do writers stay strong?--be sure to check the comments.
Also check out this great post on ten things to avoid--or do--in your query letter
Agent Rachelle Gardener wonders if authors need Skype (I am not great as using it, but I do love it!) and the importance of reading *and* reading in the genre you write in
Agent Kristin Nelson on the importance of checking royalty statements
One last part to Getting Published Is Not Enough from How Publishing Really Works
The Intern on plots and plotting
From Genreality, the importance of passion in your writing
Over at YA Outside the Lines, Holly Schindler blogs about her writing system--I don't know how she does it! If I even tried it, I'd probably end up in the hospital!
Also check out April Henry's advice for authors--Fake It Until You Make It
Fascinating story of a first book sale
Looks like it is truly the end of Borders, as a partial or total sale of the chain seems to be coming
Okay, after that Borders news, how about some chocolate chip cookie bark? Or perhaps you'd rather have triple chocolate cookies and cream peppermint bark?
Crossing my fingers for Borders...
