Goodreads - 0 views
-
"Discover and share books you love on Goodreads, the world's largest site for readers and book recommendations" (and obsessively check your reviews and star ratings). Author dashboards, book discussion groups and lists, your library and bookshelves. Where readers are.
-
I didn't know I had an account until you mentioned it. As it turns out, I told Goodreads a year ago that I'd begun reading Noah Devine's Dharma Punx. I am, to this day, still trying to read Dharma Punx! It is keeping me honest...
-
Yes, I look like I've been reading the same books for a year, too.
Get ready to go down the Rabbit Hole - 0 views
-
This is an example of one of the intensive writing events I was talking about. NaNoWriMo (National Novel-Writing Month) is another.
Self Publishing - 0 views
Reading lots on this and how the publishing market is changing. Reading James Scott Bell "Self-publishing Attack! The Five Unbreakable Laws..." And really learning something. Have a few others wait...
Why work doesn't happen at work - 0 views
-
Ths is a TED talk where Jason Fried talks about the importance of flow time, or time spent thinking/scheming. Thought it might help you guys.
-
That link looks dodgy to me. It might just be my iPad* playing silly buggers but in case it isn't: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XD2kNopsUs&feature=youtube_gdata_player * Yes, Michael, I know: I should dump the evil empire... ;)

Handy post on a few places to get online critiques, info and support
Writing Tips - 0 views
-
A whole lot of stuff, tools, advice, articles and comments - some of which are quite useful or get you thinking at least.
Scrivener - 2 views
-
Great software for drafting - much easier to use than MS Word for longer pieces of writing. It's worth downloading the trial and setting aside some time to play with the tutorial.
- ...2 more comments...
-
Yes it is, though it's only about $40. Have a play.
-
Writing software designed especially for writers. Costs around $40 (but do a search for vouchers and you may get a discount).
Framing the story - interviews, tips, thoughts - 0 views
-
I loved this TED Radio Hour special on storytelling. It includes interviews and TED talks from a Pixar scriptwriter, the author of the historical reimagining The Girl with the Pearl Earring and a book cover artist. "Storytelling is joke-telling."
Varuna - 0 views
-
Varuna runs lots of fellowships and residencies-some involving collaboration with publishers. Well worth a look and something to dream about/aspire to.
-
A great one to keep an eye on as fellowships come around several times a year. I was there last year and it is bliss.
Access State Library of Victoria eresources from home - 0 views
-
Huge range of encyclopaedias, dictionaries, journals, databases (eg AustLit). They are free to access (but you have to join the library - also free - to do so.)
Google Scholar - 0 views
-
Rich repository of journal articles and published papers on almost anything. If you are a member of a university library or State Library and put that in your Scholar profile, it will tell you when you have direct access to an article in a subscription-based database.
-
It's is always worth investigating the authors of a paper before you use it from Scholar, I reckon. Universities overseas, particularly in the US, have different funding arrangements and sometimes the papers here (especially health-related ones) are less than independent.
-
Fair call. True also of many materials online - factual or opinion-based ... or in the hard to tell the difference category. One good measure of credibility (or arguments against the findings) is to look at how many other people have cited the material and what they've done with it, which you can do via Scholar.

Site listing huge number of writing opportunities. Used to be free but recently became necessary to pay to join. Weighted towards the US, but does list Australian opportunities, such as anthologies. Basically world wide publishing opportunities.
Freedom With Writing - 1 views
-
Subscribe to this website and receive email updates about websites that pay for content. None of them are high-paying, but it's fun to read about opportunities.
American versus British spelling - 0 views
-
Handy explanation of the basics of differing spellings in Britain and America
-
That's grand, thanks. I Americanized (sic) my blog recently (to help me get a job in California) and found it a lot more painful than I had expected. It seems 30-odd years of training makes habits hard to break.
American vocab compared to New Zealand - 0 views
-
Helpful list if you're aiming to write for the US market and want to check vocab usage. New Zealand English, but many words like Australian vocab.
