Blog\/News Finds<\/strong><\/p>\n I got my writing start with comic books. I am fascinated by the marriage of words and pictures, and believe writers can learn so much about writing by looking at artists and listening to their take on things.<\/p>\n I liked this short interview with Maurice Sandak<\/a>.<\/p>\n [Along the lines of writers getting good advice from artists, if you’ve never read Chuck Jones’s Chuck Amuck<\/a>, it’s one of my favorite books about writing…even though it’s not about writing, but animation.]<\/p>\n Writers can also do well to listen to what works for musicians. This post by Amanda Palmer<\/a> should get any writer thinking differently about ways to promote their work.<\/p>\n I devoted this week’s blog entries to writing criticism. Like it or not, sometimes harsh news is the best news. I loved this Editorial Ass blog post<\/a> about the weeks leading up to a book’s publication.<\/p>\n Joe Konrath was nice enough to share some Kindle sales numbers<\/a> with readers. (I found this through lee Goldberg’s A Writer’s Life<\/a> blog.)<\/p>\n
