Friday Link Love 5/2

May 02 2008

First, I must apologize that I don’t have as many links for you today. I have been rather busy this week and didn’t get a chance to go link hunting like I normally do. However, here are some excellent links for your reading enjoyment!

Second, thank you everyone who posted a comment during the month of April. I will be choosing a random comment very soon (within the next few days) and the winner will receive a $30 Amazon gift card. I love doing stuff like this and plan on more giveaways in the near future (hint, hint). While the April comment contest is officially closed, please continue to comment as much as you like! I love reading what you have to say.

Finally, it’s Friday! I don’t think much more than that needs to be said. Have a safe and happy weekend!

Fiction writing: Character creation
Here’s some practical advice on finding inspiration for characters and bringing them to life.

Here’s one from the vaults. I dusted it off from almost a year ago. Despite the age of this post, however, it still is relevant today. Enjoy!
