Interesting Posts to Read Today
May 22nd, 2008 | 
Author: I read a couple of interesting posts today that I wanted to share with you in case we’re not reading the same blogs.
First up is Novel Journey’s “Creating Character by Jane Kirkpatrick.” I found this post more interesting to read than most on Novel Journey. Jane also recommends a few books that sound like they might be worth reading too.
Rachelle Gardner addresses the question of “Are You a Writer?” Her main point is that sometimes as writers we have to write things we don’t think we can (things that are necessary for an author to write like a hook, synopsis, proposal etc.). Take a minute to read her post, and if you aren’t already subscribed to her site, I definitely recommend it.
Mike Hyatt at Thomas Nelson reports on an interesting sales report for the book industry. I’ve read elsewhere on the web that book sales are supposed to be down because of the recession. In fact, the recession could render the book industry obsolete. Huh? Apparently, as Mike Hyatt says, that memo didn’t get out there to all of the publishers. And I see failed logic in the recession ending the book industry. If I began spending more time at home because of high gas prices, I would need something to fill my time with…hmmm…what about a book? =)
And finally, Colleen Coble at Girls Write Out debunks a new myth in the publishing industry.
