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: Ok... am I the first? Bowing out comment - waah!
Date: 2011-04-13 09:00 pm (UTC)I'm so sorry to hear that you're still having health problems and I can only guess how exhausted you must be right now.
To be clear, you haven't let anyone down. Your health and sanity comes first, natch, and fandom is supposed to be fun, NOT feel like one more thing beating you down.
But, just in case, PLEASE do bear in mind that as you did sign up on time you do have until the rough drafts are due on the 28th of June if you should rally, inspiration suddenly strikes... or something like that. *g* That's ultimately the date at which anyone else would be inconvenienced if you dropped out after it as that's when the artists get to choose their story and start their work.
Again, you haven't inconvenienced anyone and get well soon. ♥
