I am on my way to Cape Cod for a few days, so I won't be blogging. Well, I think I won't be blogging. Maybe I'll break down, but the plan is to take a break. No blogging til Monday. But I can't bear to leave you with nothing to read, so here are some things you may find interesting to tide you over until I get back.


  • Not to make anyone jealous, but the photo on the left, is from the place I am going. I need to get my peace on.
  • While some people use the "Best American.." anthologies to torture themselves, Alexander Chee has a better idea.
  • Amistad has launched a blog. The first order of business, a discussion of the "African American" section at the bookstore. Galleycat is kind of like, "Haven't we talked about this already?" And I point out that I wrote about The Colored Section way back in 2005.
  • Lauren, who is always out saving the world, told me that Girls Write Now is looking for mentors who will work with teenage-writers. Check out the NYT profile of this amazing organization. C'mon. Download the application and get ready to do some good.
  • From manuscript pages to a bound book, The Writing Group sheds some light on the subject.
  • Maud is more concise, but here goes: Authonomy is a site where aspiring writers can upload thier work and get feedback from other people on the site. It's suppossed to help you write better. Gawker thinks it's stupid. And you and I can't really have an opinion because you can only use the site if you have an invitation.
