- A real post soon, maybe about what I'm learning (so far) from mine and C's secret project collaborative lark…as we hit the halfway point in it today. (Wow, that was fast. Double typing fingers means double word counts. And it is also proving an excellent distraction from The Nerves kicking in about The Woken Gods, now that it's more or less done and beginning to be read by some people…and even more people soon. Like, out in three months soon. Ack.)
- But first I'm just going to close some tabs–many of them bookish.
- I always love a peek at other people's processes, and the delightful Rachael Herron obliges with how she sets her target word count and keeps perspective on a project.
- Scientific American confirms the Internet is a giant black hole of time-suckage. Best part is new term: email apnea. This modern life, I tell you.
- The singular and amazing Chuck Wendig recently did a great two part interview over at Fantasy Faction. Go read it, then buy his new book The Blue Blazes, why don't you?
- Skeleton Lake in India. One of those rare stories where the photos and content are equally fascinating.
- Nicola Griffith talks with her editor about her forthcoming book Hild, definitely one of the books I'm most looking forward to this year.
- John Green offers his own opinion on the wild success of TFiOS for publishing nerds.
- Ron Charles gives a thumbs up to one of this year's books that's already a favorite of mine: Karen Joy Fowler's We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves. Animal person? An adult who loved The One and Only Ivan? You must read this. Starred reviews, and so much love already. And it's out tomorrow!
