Fun Link Friday

Posted by annastan on March 12th, 2010. Filed under: Links, Random Fun, Resources.

Despite the fact that I’ve been on spring break, this week has been even busier than usual. I blame those neverending revisions! (Oops, do you think my WIP heard me?) So while I had a fun little topic I was going to post on today, I’ve decided to leave that for Monday. Instead, here are some links you might enjoy.

Two helpful craft posts from The Plot Whisperer for Readers and Writers:

5 Reasons Writers Get Stuck

Definition of Plot for Writers

And a really interesting video (via Pub Rants) that shows how a book cover is designed:

Have a great weekend!

    Great links and an excellent video. Now I’ve got another helpful writing blog to add to my Google Reader. :)

    Thanks for sharing these!

    Uh oh. Hadn’t even occurred to me that my WIP hears me when I talk behind its back. =)

    Thanks for the links. I’m just starting a new project and I’m plot-challenged, so these will come in handy. Happy Friday!

    I loved that video when I first saw it. Makes me want to read the book.

    Anna–I love the part in the video where they are revising–Oops the Eiffle Tower wasn’t built yet. That’s awesome.

    Thanks, John! My Google Reader is so stuffed with blogs, I’m afraid it’s going to explode.

    Anne, you have to be very careful what you say around your WIPs. They hear everything… :-)

    Thanks, Andrea. Have a lovely weekend!

    MG, how exciting to be starting a new project (plot-problems aside). Good luck with it!

    Laura, I’ve had the first book, Soulless, on my list for a while but haven’t gotten to it yet. If you read it first, you’ll have to report back!

    Heather, that was my favorite part too. I love all the attention to detail that goes into making a cover – we totally take it for granted!

    Terry, I’m glad they were useful. Happy writing!

    Thanks for the awesome links. I think I spend way too much time playing on the web though. My WIP has been complaining about me behind my back.

    Lisa, my WIP was complaining about that too. Finally I stopped spending so much time on Twitter and it was much happier. :-)

    PJ, isn’t it great? It’s funny because I saw at least three other people had it on their blogs yesterday – good stuff!
