Musings about some of my favorite fantasy literature for young readers, comics old and new, the peculiar publishing industry, the future of books, kids today, and the writing process.
I'm signed up for Anu Garg's A.Word.A.Day email list, which was functioning like a blog even before blogging went viral. I especially enjoyed the week of archaic conjunctions from late November: Must remember to work more of those into daily use, though I already use "albeit" more than normal.
A subscription to A.Word.A.Day makes a fine and inexpensive holiday gift for a wordlover who's already overloaded with stuff.
