ci5_boxoftricksHi everyone and welcome to the weekly check in post. Just a few links for you this week, hopefully you’ll find them distracting interesting. So to start with a couple of pages with quotes about writing: Quotes about writers and writing and More quotations about writing
My fav of the quotes is: "Every novel should have a beginning, a muddle, and an end." (Peter De Vries).
Next to give us all something to avoid and have a giggle, and maybe an occasional wince, over here are links to some of the winners / contenders for Literary Review’s annual bad sex in fiction awards.
Passages from the 2010 winner, past contenders, a few more, and the 1994 - 2004 winners
And lastly, as I am currently impersonating the chicken in this cartoon:
A couple of links to posts about writer’s block: Hack your way out of writer‘s block and Symptoms and Cures for writers block (for assignments but has some useful tips).
And, as always, please chat about anything you like, ask us questions, and let us know how you are getting on with your planning/writing/curing your amnesia.

Re: But, but, my persona is always a pirate... *headdesk*
Date: 2011-04-13 06:33 pm (UTC)Evil wood... now there's an idea. *whistles*
*splutters* *giggles* I'd read about that.
So we need to find a way to make Doyle what you want him to then........I may have a few ideas.
And the ostrich technique is one I heartily endorse.

Date: 2011-04-13 06:41 pm (UTC)...how do we feel about the rubbers?
*ponders* I wonder if the evil wood acts independently, sneaking off in the middle of the night?
Ideas eh? Do they involve... handcuffs? 'Cos I've heard tell of such things from the bad kids behind the bike sheds.
