I know, I’ve been a crappy blogger lately. In my defense, first draft edits on my first novel (working title recently changed to With Strange Aeons, after a Lovecraft quote) are almost finished, and I’ve been working on various graphic designer projects.

In case you missed it, Maureen Johnson temporarily filled in for John Green while he was on paternity leave from Vlogbrothers.

(The latter may be resultant of the first two.)
Upcoming 2010 Debut Author Kiersten White has a quirky and insightful blog, wherein she often talks about the publishing industry. For example, her post on well-rounded characters.
FreakAngels is a fantastic, glorious post-apocalyptic superpower webcomic written by the legendary Warren Ellis, drawn by Paul Duffield - which means it’s as beautiful as it is brilliant. Oh, and did I mention it’s free? Updated every Friday.
