Stuff I like on the internet (27/03/08)

Posted on Thursday, March 27th, 2008 in favourites Tags: , ,

I read a lot of blogs – some found through Entrecard, some through other recommendations.  Here are some of the writing/reading-related posts that have struck me in the past week or so:

  • “Book cooties and mysterious stains” – That Grrl - an amusing list of what might cause mysterious marks on books, although (as I commented) the list missed out the water and soap stains that are due to reading in the bath…
  • “Less is more or less” (part one and part two) – The Truth About Lies – a detailed, well-researched article about short poems.
  • “Show, Don’t Tell” – Hunting the Muse – an interesting look at the idea of showing what’s happening in a story rather than simply telling it.
  • “A Short Field Trip” – Storytellersunplugged – advice about finding a publisher.

And finally, over on Fustár, the Dreadful Thoughts Story Club is regularly discussing ghost, supernatural and horror stories that can be read online. I haven’t managed to make it to either of the two discussions they’ve had so far, but I’m keeping my eye out for the next.

    ‘Quite chuffed that I read two of these already – off to get the rest now.

    I guess if I’d already visited some of them – and seen your page – then I’m not doing too badly!

    Do try and pop along. It’s been a hoot so far.
