I’m on writing lockdown this week while I do some quick drafting, which means I have no time for a real blog post, but I do have time to share some links to real blog posts!

Seven Steps To Starting a Novel by Maggie Stiefvater — If you’ve struggled with starting that novel you’ve wanted to write, read this.

Ads and E-Books: Money Should Still Flow Toward the Author by Saundra Mitchell — A thoughtful and convincing analysis for anyone considering the future of books.

Authorial Intent by Kate Elliott — Spot-on smartness about the difference between an author’s intentions and a reader’s experience.

And lastly, Some Recommended Titles for LGBTQ Young Adults by Sarah McGarry — A nice list that includes some less commonly recommended titles. (OK, and also Ash!)

And now back to work … (except when I take breaks to read Mockingjay!)
