I'm back from Nebraska. The visit was terrific, but I returned with a terrible case of laryngitis. Ugh. I am spending the day in bed, catching up with the 225 emails waiting for me and of course, updating the blog. Here are some links just to get warmed up. More posts to come in the next day or so, including a report from the heartland!

  • I Need To Write: A spoken word performance to get you up and scribbling.
  • I am a contributor to The Daily Beast!
  • Tips on how freelancers can survive the recession.
  • The Shiksa Syndrome: A nice Jewish girl decides that the best way to meet a nice Jewish boy is to pretend not to be Jewish. (Ladies, do not try this at home.)
  • Because I link anytime I see a black person on Galleycat: Samuel Delaney remembers Thomas M. Disch.
  • So, Eminem is publishing a memoir. Groan, right? Well, his mom has one coming out, too. The title: "My Son, Marshall. My Son, Eminem." I can not imagine the nightmare it would be to read a book that your mother wrote about you.
  • Laila Lalami has found a great site that features recording of classic authors. Every wondered what the voice of Virginia Woolf sounds like?
