On writing ...

For things slightly more intellectual, if you're one of those elites who think working with your hands (ie crochet) is for numbskulls, Justin Taylor posted this today, which is a link to an article written by a correspondent to The Atlantic on writing fiction. I especially like that the article's author says people should read classics. Yes! Then Nathan linked to these two posts from the Guardian, also on writing fiction. I haven't fully read either of them yet, but I will.
