Twenty-nine ways to stay creative. #14 Don’t Give Up. (Grokked from JackthePoet)
If you happen to be in Ann Arbor this weekend and haven't met the wonderful Mer Haskell, here's your opportunity.
Mary Robinette Kowal brings us writing advice from David Brin. Boiled down? Write a murder mystery first. "But whatever, no matter what, don't ever… what? Okay, coming."

"Florida’s unemployment rate continues to drop! May’s unemployment rate dropped to 8.6% - the lowest since December 2008…" which they then go on to say it's all because of Republican Governor, Rick Scott.

And then there's everyone saying, "Oh no, the Romney Campaign never asked us to downplay those numbers." Because even here in Ohio the same thing might be happening. But hey, I'm sure everytungn bad was the President's fault and everything good is the Governor's responsibility (have I ever mentioned that before Gov. Kasich took over, Ohio was number 3 in the US for job growth?).
