Links of interest from that world wide web yoke

–> Anna Carey writes about why adults are watching kids' comedy series, and why they are brilliant. My beloved Horrible Histories is mentioned. This pleases me immensely.



–> Gemma Malley, author of The Declaration trilogy, has a new YA dystopian trilogy kicking off in March 2012.


–> In other dystopian-YA news, follow Caragh O'Brien on her blog tour for her new book, Prized. (Loved it.)


–> Need something to counteract the bile of that dreadfully homophobic Indo article last weekend? Have a read of what Jennifer O'Connell or Ross Golden-Bannon have to say about homophobia in Ireland and beyond.


–> Megan Crane, author of smart chick-lit and swoony romance novels, writes about finding her voice for both these things.


–> YA author Aimée Carter talks about what it takes to write – courage.


–> For anyone who's read Veronica Roth's Divergent, her post about what changed from the first to final draft is very interesting, particularly for people who wonder what kind of changes 'revising' or 'editing' entails.


–> YA author Geraldine Meade talks about writing YA fiction over at writing.ie.


–> The web comic Hyperbole and a Half talks about depression. Quote:


"…trying to use willpower to overcome the apathetic sort of sadness that accompanies depression is like a person with no arms trying to punch themselves until their hands grow back. A fundamental component of the plan is missing and it isn't going to work."
