Blog Roundup: November 7 - 13, 2011

25 Things You Should Know About Suspense and Tension went up at Chuck Wendig's Terrible Minds this week.

Greta van der Rol shared a lesson in keeping up with your online identities. (I'll be fixing links on my blog to her site/posts this week. If you've hosted a guest post or linked to author websites, it might be a good idea to make sure your links still work.)

If you care about the self-publishing vs. traditional publishing vs. whatever else debate, Bob Mayer had a couple of good posts. There's this one about the many roads to publication and this one on the fight itself. I liked this post, too, but it's about the why of writing. (I write to quiet the stories in my head.)

This week, I discovered the blog Caustic Cover Critic. If you're worried about your cover design, it's a good blog to read regularly.

James Killick wrote about why story beats character every time.

Keystrokes and Word Counts continued its ABCs of NaNo.

Sierra Godfrey showed us a real-life example of the importance of humor in a romantic relationship and then posted her Google Reader Roundup with some links to some great posts.

Stella Deleuze posted a how to on the possessive apostrophe.

The Bookshelf Muse is a really great blog. If you're looking to do research on a character trait or a plot element or a weather trait or anything like that, this place should be one of the sites you visit.
