In the immortal words of Jim Anchower, it’s been a long time since I rapped at ya, so here it make up for it is…a link. I know, I really shouldn’t have. But it’s a good one: Ten Rules for Writing (from various people who probably know what they’re talking about), a la Elmore Leonard, from the Guardian. Great stuff. Especially Margaret Atwood’s #5 rule: “Do back exercises. Pain is distracting.”
While you’re there, you might want to check out Lyndall Gordon’s article about Emily Dickinson, which I believe is excerpted from her new biography, Lives Like Loaded Guns.
On the upside, revisions of the novel’s second act are going swimmingly.
