Daily Thoughts 11/28/2010
I've been reading more of Writing Tools this weekend. There are a lot of ideas about writing that I had not thought about before. The author describes when to use unusual words as well as how patterns of words on the page effect stories. I learned quite a bit about things like sentence length, length of of words in series, patterns in writing, and other mechanies. I learned about how important it is to look for unique names and find the names of even the most unimportant characters in your writing. So far, this is an excellent book that has introduced me to many new concepts about writing.
I am still playing around with Get Glue http://getglue.com/BookCalendar/books. It is very easy to get drawn into sites like this because they appear that you are doing something important when it is really more for frivolous enjoyment. However, it does make you more visible if that is what you are seeking.
I went in and added a few more links to my selected links page from the last month. It is slowly growing. I also pulled out a few more books and topics to add to Get Glue.
