Saturday Links
(Ha ha! Zelda humor!) I’ve come across some interesting posts around the blogs this past week, and I thought I would just take a few moments to share them with you:
Veronica Roth (author of DIVERGENT) wrote a guest article for TheFabLife answering the question “What if you wrote utopian fiction?” Her answer is thought-provoking and worth your time.
S. L. Hennessy’s article “How My iPhone is Trying to Kill Me” made me chuckle at first… but she does raise an interesting point about the fine line between convenience and intrusion.
Kristen Nelson of Nelson Literary Agency wrote about the attention Marie Lu’s debut novel LEGEND is receiving, and how this teaches us the importance of being willing to “let go that manuscript.”
Rachelle Gardner gave us an insight into one day in an agent’s life.
YA Highway is promoting a nice giveaway to help draw attention to the release of Dawn Rae Miller’s novel LARKSTORM on December 6th. Check out the details here to win a Kindle and a copy of the novel!
Finally, don’t forget to sign up for the Déjà Vu Blogfest on December 16th!
Did you read something this week on a blog that you’re still thinking about now? Feel free to share!
Interesting links! Some made me smile (the iphone one) and I always find it important to remember agents are human too…Thanks for sharing 🙂
You’re welcome, cg! (I hope you don’t mind me calling you “cg”–it seems less formal, and shorter, than “Commutinggirl.”)
Suze Reese wrote an interesting blog post entitled “Plugging Up Pesky Plot Holes”. I found it enjoyable and informative/helpful.

I read the Veronica Roth one this week, but am heading over to the one about Marie Lu’s Legend right now!
Thanks for the Suze Reese link. Good article, and a great reminder about plotting, and what you can and can’t get away with.
