Spontaneous Spring Break Link Dump: Go!
13 Apr
One of the great joys of being a professional writer: Spontaneous Spring Break!
DCWYTBMA returns next week. In the meantime, please enjoys these freshly dumped links:
Nick Hornby on the perils of recommending books
The Daily Beast on “Twitterature“
The Minnesota Orchestra invites 60 people to play conductor for a day (audio version recommended)
For those of you who are interested in a more artistic take on “world building” please enjoy the City of Work
Because I take requests, #amazonfail (now with updated link to Clay Shirkey’s blog)
Finally, the awesomely bad video “Shine on Me”:
No thoughts on #amazonfail?
I’m REALLY impressed that there’s so much going on in that video…obviously there was an entire universe(s?) at play there to which the audience is not privy: multiple characters, multiple locations, “fantasy” rules… He’s obviously the Tolkien of songsmiths. Good thing the song explains everything or would have been confused.
Wow- there’s a smorgasbord going on here.
I would absolutely be exploring if I wasn’t flying to London in less than 48 hours. So I’ll come back and visit these ideas of yours later.
Hope you’re having a wonderful spontaneous break!
