Writing Post Round Up - Week of July 7-13, 2013

A short list again this week – probably for the rest of the month, at least.  And a day late – hopefully not for the rest of the month.

A lovely bit of advice for what to do once you’ve published your debut novel.  I think going back to this when (positive thinking here people!) I finally sell a book could keep me sane.

Here’s an interesting post on a particular plot point known as the Dark Night of the Soul.   Something to think about as you consider the structure of your novel.

Some excellent advice for handling criticism.

Some interesting thoughts on Jerry Seinfeld’s working process, and keeping the creativity flowing.

And finally, because this is what I really needed to hear in the midst of my crazy month, some thoughts on how to support each other as writers and not giving up.

Short and sweet!  See you next week!

Note: this is a list of blog posts and articles on writing that I collect weekly.  Inclusion on this list does not necessarily mean it was published this week, just that I read it this week and thought it was cool, interesting, and/or useful.
