Linktopia: Getting Jiggy Edition
By Kathleen Bolton | November 7, 2006 |
Surfing the best of the writers’ blogs so you don’t have to.
I’ve rounded 6,000 words this first week of NaNo, which is pretty good considering I couldn’t work on my WIP this weekend. So I’m jiggifying in celebration. Here’s Emo giving his best impression of me after two hours of hard work:
Blogs are quiet this week due to NaNo-ing and the American election, but a few tidbits are to be had.
In case you missed it on Halloween, Cobwebs of the Mind gave WU a favorable blog review that brought us some new visitors and a nice injection of warm fuzzies. You may read the review HERE . . . . Absolute Write is changing hands, but we’re sure this valuable resource will be left in good ones . . . . Victoria and A.C. repost the classic “Lies Scammers Tell about Us” . . . . the writing war between Nienke and Melly is going smashingly well . . . . . checking in with Bookdwarf, who has read a lot more in a few months than I read all year . . . . found another amusing blog, Weekend Stubble, worth a visit for its mildly deranged humor . . . . everyone loves a good mystery, and the identity of hot new author Lucy Jackson remains cloaked. Who’s going to be the first to out this “well-reviewed literary author who wants to do more commercial work”? . . . . GalleyCat muses about the death of the celebrity book trend . . . . NaNo gears stuck? Check out this writing prompt from WriteOn Right Now . . . .
And finally, the new writers’ horoscopes are up at Publisher’s Marketplace, complete with retrograding Mercury and so forth.
Write on.

“The South Node in Virgo for the next year or so will test your mettle. Be strong.”
The next YEAR or so? Jeez. Thanks, Kath. ;)
Aries includes “Money can be made of course, and you may even feel you get overpaid on at least one project. Nice problem.”
Sheesh. I just got a royalty statement indicating that all remaining royalties on my last book are being held in reserve against returns. And how could anyone ever feel overpaid????
