It's linkbucket time again

First off: I am looking forward to this more than this. And that's...a lot, especially when you consider the fight scenes involved all around.

Lee needs a hug, as do we all sometimes. Lots of writers suck! Including Nabokov, who doesn't.

Patricia on Elizabeth Smart and By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept, which I've always speculated (though I haven't read the book, so maybe I shouldn't) was really about this.

One of the hardest working men in litblogdom on Best American Short Stories 2007, complete with EWN tally.

Writers and jealousy. This is another one of those topics I myself need to make into an entry someday. Here's more on writer's block, by the way. And writing about work.

An excellent writing meme that needs to get around.

Expect to possibly see this around here sometime soon.

Something I have never, ever, understood.

Screw twisty roads, soccer moms and NY style pizza...I want to live in Pittsburgh!

Junot Diaz, cult hero and reading giver extraordinaire. If anyone knows where to find the article in which Diaz talks about spending a long time writing an apocalyptic novel, can you send me the link? I read it and promptly neglected to save it.

I want to slide this post under a couple of people's doors in the dead of night...but let me make clear, not everyone's doors.

And finally, because I know there has to be someone who  missed it the first time...the recent Metafilter thread on Norwegian death metal. You're welcome.
