Look and Listen

Just a quick post. A list, really—just a few things you might enjoy. I’m in the midst of a writing binge, and I just can’t quite stop to write a real post. I’d apologize, but I must admit I’m not really sorry. I’m just excited to be approaching the end of my first draft!
But I didn’t want to leave you with nothing at all, so go check these things out:
From Charles de Lint’s newsletter, I found Kim Antieau’s blog with, among other things, author interviews including one with CdL himself! And from there, I found her Old Mermaids Journal. Good stuff—fun, whimsy, poetry, mermaids with fantastic names. Go have a look.
While you’re poking around, go have a look at Terri Windling’s recent post at Endicott Redux. It’s about an Arthurian series that looks scrumptious! I think those will be gracing my shelves sometime soon—must feed my Arthurian addiction.
Next, from Neil Gaiman’s journal, you’ll find a link to Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother published under a creative commons license if you want to download it. But if you like it, please do consider buying a copy or two.
Finally, what I’m listening to right now—a new album at Magnatune. Dreadnought by Mountain Mirrors. You should go check it out, especially track #10, “A Spell to Block the Sun.” And track #2, “Field of Grass.” Check out the whole site. Magnatune is delicious and ethical—fifty percent of any money you pay goes to the artists. And you can listen to everything before you buy. And you can find music to fit any mood over there.
Have fun! I’ll be back Monday and might even have something to say. Have a great weekend!
