Great Heaps of Smart Things

Lots of smart things this week. Justine Larbalestier alone has three of them. She's doing a series of posts on the craft of writing this month so it's worth your while to just stop by periodically. I don't agree with everything she says, but one of the great charms of writing is that there are as many right ways to do it as there are successful writer. Here she is on choosing the right POV, generating ideas and getting past the sticky places. David Coe is also talking about POV: multiple vs. singular. Agent Kristin is talking about successful queries with a real live example. And archivist extraordinaire Lynne Thomas is saying really important things about not letting your livejournal posts go "fap" should the possible implosion of lj actually happen.
