Use this thread to share great links related to writing with the rest of the intrepid wrimoers here. To start with, here is an absolutely inspiring, and strangely interesting, TED talk by Elizabeth Gilbert that will reward you for the minutes you spend with it, and might even help you to think about the madness of a white hot creative wrimo in a new way. www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_gilbert_on_genius.htmlWrite on! -Flatiron

Selected ShortsHere is another great link, this one to a podcast that is from a public radio broadcast here in the U.S. The broadcast is from a regular performance in NYC. Actors who make for decent readers/performers of short stories read to a live audience. Occasionally they travel, and once I had the pleasure of attending a live performance in Austin, TX, when I lived there. Anyway, it’s a great way to get story in your head, in a different kind of way than reading, and also gives you a chance to consider how the words can come alive when not only read aloud, but performed. ;-) This one is in the podcast list in my phone, and I often, when deciding to forego another stint of listening to news, will listen instead to a story. www.selectedshorts.org/- Flatiron

Another great resource I've run across are the slushpile workshop podcasts that you can find on the writing show site ( www.writingshow.com/). In each show, Paula B. reads a bit of several first chapters or short stories that people have sent in, and then does a short critique on each, talking about the strengths of the story or chapter, and pointing out where improvements can be made. It's not hard at all to listen in and then extrapolate from that work to my own, and to be able to do it via podcast, as I run around doing other things, is a fun way to go about incorporating writing into other parts of my day. Check it out. If you do, what do you think? -Flatiron
