Some things (with links)

–> Recent interview with Sophie Kinsella, whose new book I've Got Your Number is just out. In which the interviewer is a tad condescending and Kinsella is mightily zen. (There's as well.)

–> On a related note, a piece about reader-shaming and genre fiction.

–> Over at DIY MFA, there's a great post about what you promise the reader in the opening pages of a story or novel.

–> On the non-writerly, personal side of things, there is a super piece here about bad relationships. Aimed at teenagers, but worth reading at any age.

–> And on a happier TV junkie note, some fabulous bits of Cougar Town Season 3. (I may have mentioned my love of this show previously. It is very very funny, and has a super cast. YAY for season 3!)
