Here’s a few things that you might want to take a look at.
– Are you a frustrated writer? Jim Munroe, author of numerous novels as well as the excellent 2007 graphic novel Therefore, Repent! offers up 10 Ways To Get Your Writing Out There at his blog. The post comes out of a talk that I sort-of commissioned from Munroe from this fall’s The Word On The Street festival. Accompanying each “way” is an illustration by Ramon Perez, author of the webcomic Kukuburi amongst other works.
– Lynda Barry was just as lovely in person as she seems in all of these wonderful interviews that keep popping up. I got to meet her in Toronto at The International Festival of Authors this past fall. The most recent Barry interview comes courtesy of Canadian lit-mag The Walrus. Check out Part One and Part Two.
– I’ve started contributing to the group-blog at Tor.com. I’ll be sticking mainly to the subject of comic books, and even then only stuff of interest to the sci-fi and fantasy readers that visit the site. My first post is a wrap-up/overview of the cancellation of Blue Beetle from DC Comics, and all of the responses to it. It’ll be published sometime tomorrow, so bookmark Tor.com and subscribe to their feed reader in anticipation. Please?
Edit: And it’s up. http://www.tor.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=blog&id=9514. I’d love a bit of feedback on this actually, if you’ve got any.
