The best thing about this week has been the thunderstorms. The worst thing about it is that they didn’t bring 50 degree temperature with them, or more preferably, snow and ice. But enough of the jibber jabber; it’s time for Five Links Friday!
1. Let’s start off with something suspenseful. Well, sort of. It’s What Is Suspense by Crime Writer Sue Coletta at MysteryThrillerWeek.
2. Here’s a somewhat frightening post at WriteToDone, where Dale Kutzera asks Are You at Risk of a Story Collapse? Sometimes I fear the answer may be ‘yes’. What do you think?
3. A lot of us write about addiction, but how many of us really know anything about it? Here is a post by Peter Selgin at Jane Friedman’s site with some tips on Writing About Addiction: It Often Takes Two Perspectives.
4. Don’t make characters that don’t matter. Here’s a post by Stephanie Morrill at Go Teen Writers with some tips on How To Make Sure Every Character Counts In Your Story.
5. Finally, let’s close out the week with a nice post by Molly Greene on gratitude and How Giving Thanks Can Build Success.
And that is it for the weekend. Look for a podcast tomorrow, and check back for more fun stuff next week! Now go get some writing done 🙂
