Links & Writing Update

Micheal Yon - an independent Mideast reporter. Worth reading.

Michael Z Williamson talks about his latest book, over at John Scalzi's place.

Scientia Pro Publica 2 - Science, Nature and Medicine Carnival - *lots* of cool links.

Ron Rolheiser - does a weekly column on theological topics. Well worth the read.

After a dry spell that lasted most of three months, I started writing again. Only a few hundred words a night, and they're not very impressive words, but they're written.

As a reward, I got hit with another plotbunny. God is good. *g*

(When I say 'dry spell' - this was strictly creative writing. Work writing (which can occasionally be very creative, especially when I'm trying to find a nice way to say "what you're suggesting is illegal and ill-advised and no, I'm not going to waste my boss's time by discussing it with him" to the heads of other sections) doesn't count, and I'm not counting the prayer/reflections journal either.)

Near as I can figure, the itch to write again (which, like all good addictions, never really went away) worked its way into action when I started blogging again.

Which is odd, as one of the reasons I stopped bogging was to concentrate on writing. Huh.

Great news about the writing! My writing goes on and off in spurts as well (my creative writing), and it's always a joy to be in the midst of a fun project! Best of luck as you go onward!

Alexander - Thanks so much! I hit another snag after I posted this, but it's better to be busy than not! And good luck right back at you.

Emma - Good to hear from you, girl! I was working on the PK spin-off story, but have since been sidetracked. I'm trying to tell myself it's a good thing.
