Some Wednesday Linkage

Gareth Powell has listed 5 pieces of writing advice that every writer should take to heart. Some of the advice, we should already know, but it never hurts to be reminded. http://www.garethlpowell.com/creative-writing-lecture

From Brian Lindenmuth we have the return of The Bullet Awards, this time with a blog of its own. Each month Geoff Eighinger, former editor of "Crooked", and a panel of judges will review short stories and post their selections. They're asking that all you readers out there send links to stories that they might have missed so they can be entered for consideration. You can check out the details here http://thebulletawards.blogspot.com

And be sure to stop by Spinetinger today and tomorrow to check out the reviews of all the stories in the anthology, "On Dangerous Ground: Stories of Western Noir" edited by Ed Gorman, Dave Zeltserman and Martin H. Greenberg. Here's the link http://www.spinetinglermag.com/tag/on-dangerous-ground-stories-of-western-noir/
