Hidey-ho Race Fans, and welcome to another installment of writing-, publishing-, and book-related news and information from your friends (or friend) at the Butter Lamb Reference Library and Alternative Incite magazine.
As in installments past, I've rounded up another informative, intriguing, and engaging collection of news items, op-eds, and other fare penned to tickle, inform, and entertain your writing bone. I've been at this for a few months now, but I feel like batch of words is a particularly good one. (The last item about "Why I'm Not a Writer" is a particular gem.) But beyond that, it has occurred to me that, as the weeks go by, I'm building an impressive archive of writing-, publishing- and book-related news and resources for all of us to learn and benefit from. If you agree tell your friends!
Word-up.
