Lots of writers are writing about writing these days. Like, this week. It seems to be the YA author meme of the moment.
So, for your enjoyment, here are a few links:
Maureen Johnson slams muses.
Justine Larbalestier has lots to say on the subject, and it’s all very interesting and sometimes funny.
Meg Cabot has a whole video about how to write a novel:
Laurie Halse Anderson is conducting a “write 15 minutes a day” challenge, currently on day eight. And some folks, like Jo Knowles are “keeping themselves honest” by posting a daily word count on their LJs. I love this idea.
Susane Colasanti has also blogged about writing here in an attempt to answer reader questions.
Cecil Castellucci writes about the writing cave, a place where procrastination is alllll good. Apparently. As long as it involves Stan Lee.
And finally, if any of you out there are budding/aspiring novelists, you can always check out How to Think Sideways, Holly Lisle’s upcoming online writing course. I pre-registered, but we’ll have to wait and see how much it costs (she hasn’t determined that yet) before we know if I can afford it. Anything over 25¢ might be too much for my starving artist self.
