i need to get into habit of posting links about writing, quotes about writing, that kind of thing. i keep seeing them and meaning to follow them up.

lets start with this link that is doing the rounds - what not to do as a self-publishing author if you get a bad review - Books & Pals - wherein an author throws a massive strop and the rest of the world looks on with their jaw dropping.

a slightly older link, again on self-publishing, amanda hocking's dose of reality regarding her own success as a self-published author.

various quotes from various sources:

"If you write one story, it may be bad; if you write a hundred, you have the odds in your favor" - Edgar Rice Burroughs

"The universe is made of stories, not of atoms." - Muriel Rukeyser

"You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you" - Ray Bradbury
