I’ve been completely consumed with my novel since I got back from New York (a rather fortunate if unexpected consequence of going to a major trade show.) I just reached the 60,000 word mark, and want to ride the momentum while I can, so I’m going to have to bow out early today. I’ve pre-posted a few links below, but for more substantial fare I recommend visiting any of the fine lit blogs listed here. The one and only Randa Jarrar takes over tomorrow and every Friday. Have a great weekend.
