Sunday Morning Writing Links

Cullen Gallagher has an excellent post up about author, Howard Browne. Mr. Browne is a writer that most of us can relate to on many levels. http://www.pulpserenade.com/2009/11/howard-browne-on-words-and-writing.html

From Brian Lindenmuth we have this link http://blog.stevenpressfield.com/2009/10/writing-wednesdays-2-the-most-important-writing-lession-i-ever-learned/ This is a very interesting take on writing for your readers.

Since A&E started running Criminal Minds, I've become a fan. I know, its been on for years and I just found it. What can I say, I'm always late to the series parties. One of the things I like about the show is how it begins and ends with a relevant quote. This one by Cyril Connolly really struck me as good advice for writers to follow. "Better to write for yourself and have no public than to write for the public and have no self."

While looking for the author of that quote I ran across these two sites full of writerly quotes to fit every mood a writer can drown themselves in.

Not sure why this goes to a broken link page, but just click on that and it will take you to the site.
Same link as I have, so go figure.

Always a pleasure, David.

I loved the Browne article, Frank! Cullen's blog is a daily stop for me, he always has such great posts. I learn something new every time I stop by Pulp Seranade.
