- Drowning, swimming, floating, all of the above. Just a few quick links, because I hate to let this place get too dusty even in the middle of Sinus Infection Deadlineville (the lesser known ghost town you pass through on the way to Complete Overloadtown). All will be well.
- One thing that gives me the happies lately? Pretending we're all going to live on this Greek island together, drinking boiled coffee, socializing, napping, writing, and living forever.
- The amazing invisible bike helmet.
- Agent Rachelle Gardner offers some thoughts on making a living as a writer and part two.
- The always fascinating Richard Nash at VQR with an essay: "What is the business of literature?"
- You all read Terri Windling's blog faithfully, right? So many days, I find just what I need there. This morning was one of them.
- Narrative structural diagrams for several different radio shows on cocktail napkins. Pretty.
- I love envelopes, especially old ones or ones with scribbled on messages. I tend to use even boring old bill envelopes as makeshift notepads. Messy Nessy Chic loves them too, and has the pictures to prove it.
- I've passed this link on to my favorite milliners already, but sharing here too. A great piece from Movie Star Makeover on Lilly Daché, old Hollywood's favorite hatter.
- And if this handful of links isn't enough for you, Big Think has a little round-up of interesting, provocative things for spring. And it is, you know, springtime. If only nature would behave that way.
