Some Friday Linkage

Just a bit of linkage today.

This one is about Westerns, McCarthy vs McMurtry in particular, but there are many others as well. This link came through the Rara Avis group. http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-11-10/cormac-mccarthy-vs-larry-mcmurtry-best-western-novelist/full

Brian Lindenmuth sent me a pair a links about writing. The first is how to make your writing memorable, the second is about cardboard villains. Thanks, Brian!

Over at Booklife Now, Jeff Vandermeer has an excellent essay on rejuvenating you imagination. http://booklifenow.com/2010/11/just-breathe-rejuvenating-your-imagination/

If you enjoy listening, Steve Steinbock has just the thing for you. This week he's hosting a forum on hard-boiled heroes over at the Audio Book Community. You can find the various links and all the details here http://criminalbrief.com/?p=14642 And hey, there's free downloads of 2 minute noir!
