Five Bucks Says They Knife Their Local Bookstores (Brain Dump for Writers)
- Five bucks says a lot of people take the money to knife their local bookstores.
- It’s not just the bookstores of course. Three newspapers decide not to print the paper version on Mondays. This will affect the three people who are still subscribing.
- This just in: writing by hand activates a larger portion of your brain than clicking keys. That must be why grandmas are so smart. It’s their penmanship and that Tuesday through Friday newspaper.
- *Hipster gasp.* Look who is being investigated for fixing e-book prices. Jailbreak your e-book app anyone?
- A couple student-run websites look to sling some rocks at the price-gouging, textbook giants.
- Four first-time authors and one fifty-one time author made the New York Times Best Books of 2011 list.
- Editors, agents & authors will critique your work to raise money for charity this Christmas. Keep in mind, that means they may tell you your stuff sucks for a donation. Merry Christmas.
- Check out the How To Write a Book tab here on this site if you’re looking for real-world support for that book rolling around inside of you.
- “If you stuff yourself full of poems, essays, plays, stories, novels, films, comic strips, magazines and music… you will automatically explode every morning like Old Faithful. I have never had a dry period in my life because I feed myself well.” Ray Bradbury
