Is "the hidden nerve" friends-locked? Because I can't access it.

I think it is friends-locked, or even deleted, as I get the same "forbidden" message from LiveJournal in either scenario.

Thank you! I'll take a look later (I'm kind of just taking a moment to check my email right now).

LinksAPlenty. Added a link to your profile, rather than to a single page. Not that I have that much traffic there, apparently, from all the moderation I do, I get waves of Spam comments that never appear on it. That's my open bookmarks site. One of the reasons it's online is that I've had too many shabby systems that have up and died on me, bookmarks and all.

The Attention Novelists post was funny. :)

I love this quote from Jim Hines: "the more the stupidity grows, the harder it is to walk away." So true, and he gives good tips on when you should walk away.

Also, good points in "Writers on Writing--Emotion." I like the example of watching fiction TV with the sound off and what we can learn about how people display emotion by watching real life.

I'm still working my way through the others! Your links will be my tea breaks today :)

Favorites of the ones I read:

When to walk away ( jimhines )
Defense Mechanisms in writing ( tracey d74 )
Book Promotions ( damcphail )

Thanks for the links :)

Thanks for the link to my post! And I really liked the Attention Novelists item. I left a note to that effect.

Thanks, Jon! Pleasure to see I made The List. If I haven't said so before, thanks for doing this. I rarely comment, but I often find interesting posts on these from people I don't regularly read.

Actually, I have 3 favorites.

Defense Mechanisms in Writing
When to walk away
The hidden nerve in writing

I'm planning to try Tracy's suggests in Defense Mechanisms.
I'm trying to learn how to do what Jim was talking about in When to walk away.
The hidden nerve in writing describes me almost perfectly.
