Friday Linkage

September 15 is the deadline for Storyglossia's Musical Obsession issue. As of the first week of August, they'd only had four stories submitted so get your keyboards singing folks. They also have a new online submission form. You can find all the details here http://www.storyglossia.com/guidelines.html

Russel McLean has a thoughtful post over at the Do Some Damage blog about stepping outside your comfort zone as a writer. http://dosomedamage.blogspot.com/2009/08/not-same-and-decidedly-different.html

I've mentioned The Big Adios before, but its worth mentioning again, especially since the month of August brought us three new interviews at the site with crime writing authors, Anthony Neil Smith, Megan Abbott, and Dave Zeltserman. You can find all three interviews plus many more at this link. http://thebigadios.yuku.com/forums/61/t/Interrogations.html

Horror Bound Magazine updates their site frequently and the latest update brings us an interview with Jonathan Maberry http://www.horrorbound.com/readarticle.php?article_id=122 Here's a quote from the Advice to New Authors section of the interview:

"And...have fun. If you're not having fun with this stuff, you're missing the point."

Excellent words to write by!
