Thursday Thirteen
Since it's been awhile since I posted, here are 13 links for writers, readers, music lovers, bloggers, and the curious.
1. The Reader in You from CoolPlums blog, an inspiring post about some of the psychological aspects of writing.
2. Scribbit is offering a free ebook download on how to start a blog, market a blog, and other blog related things. This is a very thorough and well thought out book from a successful blogger.
3. I Listen to Everything is a very fun blog for "people who are sick of the music on their ipods". You can read about new bands and listen to their songs and their favorite songs!
4. Here's a live videocam from The Franklin institute recording a red-tailed hawk nest in Philadephia. You can watch the fledglings eating, or go back and look at when the eggs first hatched. Thanks to my niece, Lorien, for the link!
5. The Fiction Matters blog is doing a neat series on Vonnegut's Rules of Writing. Here's a link to the third rule.
6. And here's a great article on the visceral part of writing by Emily Hanlon.
7. The 10 Rules of Writing from James N. Frey, thanks to the Writing Nag for this fun link!
8. Here's an amazing link for music lovers, all sorts of old 78's that you can listen to online!
9. Twenty by Jenny is another fun book recommendation sight for kids.
10. If you've ever considered a creativity coach, you can apply here for a free twelve weeks with a coach in training. Scroll down until you see "becoming a free client".
11. Mira's List has all sorts of good information for grants, fellowships, and residencies for creative types.
12. Encouragement to read to your child!
13. And instructions for making ever so cute miniature books.

Thanks for the great links! Happy Friday!
Those are some great links--the music one is definitely one I'll visit. Thanks for including me!
Writing Nag, and Scribbit, enjoy the links! And Scribbit, thanks for putting out such a great guide on blogging!
I love the miniature book tutorial. I'm saving that for future reference.
I'm out cruising blogs this morning. The link about Vonnegut's "Rules of Writing" was what I needed to read. I'm bogged down in a story and I now see why--I have not considered what my secondary characters want. Hmm. Guess I should quit surfing and go talk to them individually. Thanks for the mental boost!
Janet, I'm so glad you like the miniature books. I'm sure you will do something fun and creative with them!
Cynthia! It's so good to hear from you! And I'm glad you found a useful link. I hope the conversations with your characters went well!
Appreciate the mention of www.CoolPlums.com. The blog is a labor of love and when someone reads it, my reward. John
John, you are very welcome. Coolplums is a great blog!
