Happy Friday, everyone! I’m personally having a difficult time wrapping my brain around the fact that it’s November. Of course, if you’re participating in NaNoWriMo, you’re well aware of the fact and — I hope — off and writing like a fiend to get your word count up.
As always, I come bearing some fun links for you all. I hope they make for a nice break, or maybe provide a bit of inspiration for your weekend. Enjoy, and happy writing!
The Gorey Details – A fun look at the work of Edward Gorey over at the LA Review of Books.
The State of the Short Story – Paris Review editor Lorin Stein defends the short story in our current tech-heavy society.
The Rumpus Interview with Elizabeth Gilbert – A wonderful chat with author Elizabeth Gilbert about writing, success, and continuing to put in the work.
Happy NaNoWriMo! – Author Erin Morgenstern gives some quick advice on writing a novel in a month, plus links to her past posts on the subject.
FYI – I nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. I mostly right about running on my blog but your blog has been a consistent encouragement for me with my favorite/other hobby, writing. Since I started following you last year, I feel like I’ve grown in leaps and bounds. No worries if you don’t want/have time to participate but if you want more info, check it out at: http://runrunnergirlrun.wordpress.com/2012/11/06/inspiring-bloggers-2/
Thank you, Kristin. That’s so sweet of you. I’m so happy you find the blog inspiring.
