Today’s linkage is writing/book related.

Well – most of them…

And here we go:

*Here’s a nice breakdown of Kindle vs iPad vs Touch Book, prompted by yesterday’s announcement of the iPad and the general hysteria that ensued.

* Adele taught Surprise! in the classroom over in Japan this month. This has been one of the best things I’ve seen in a while, I’m so thrilled to see it in practice on an international scale.

* Tips for Plotting: How to Create a Fascinating Plot for Your Story. For if you’re stuck and don’t have/can’t find quickly any of those helpful ‘how to’ books.

* The Book Inscriptions Project. I love, love this idea. It’s just such a shame it’s been inactive for several months.

* A HuffPo article – Metrophobia: Are We Afraid of Poetry? It asks the question towards the end: have you been saved by a poem? It’s an interesting one. I’d say – yes. Yes I have, at times.

* Veronica was mentioned in her local paper and so was I and a number of my favourite bloggers!

* The Distraction Beast’s Brainstormer may not technically have anything to do with reading or writing, but it does offer a distracting word-salad that is…quite entrancing.

* How to use a semi-colon.

Okay…

* And last, but not least, let’s have a little fun with Gary Busey. I know this will make my sister laugh. I giggled…and still giggle when I see it. It can come on a little loud and sudden, so be warned.
