Friday Link Love 10/30

Oct 30 2009

Welcome to the Friday “Spooktacular” edition of Link Love! Actually it’s not, just business as usual. I’m not a big fan of Halloween (yes, I’m a Scrooge). Although I will be attending a Halloween party Saturday night, dressed as an unemployed writer. Seems fitting in this economy.

Halloween aside, the Chicago area keeps getting pounded with lousy weather and rain storms. While I normally enjoy the occasional drizzle and/or storm, this constant bad weather is starting to pick at everyone’s nerves. Most of us have forgotten what a blue sky looks like, or the sun for that matter.

Enough small talk. Here are a few great links from around the web for your reading enjoyment. Have a happy Halloween and, as always, a safe and weekend!

The reverse snobbery of literary aspirations

Poetry Friday – Houdini

Ebooks making libraries popular again, can do nothing about your 80s scrunchie

In defense of print

Ebooks vs. physical books

Style and popular fiction

Amazon’s price war with Wal-Mart

Will these books really help me get a book deal?

Even low alcohol consumption can have negative impact on health

Do writers need to be a little ADD?

Stop apologizing (for things you’ve never done)

Agents do more than sell books

Sugar as brain food

Court cases show limits of anonymous blogging

  2. Hi Melissa! Thank you for your comment.

    Yes, I am a Halloween Scrooge. I think it started when I was too old to go Trick or Treating. After that, Halloween lost its magic.

    Have a great weekend!
