The Basement Office presents – procrastination links!

It’s a slow, unmotivated day and while I should be writing, I’ve stumbled upon a few really great articles out there on the net!

You writers out there will know exactly what I mean.

So, since misery loves company, please forgive me for giving you ammunition for your own delinquincy.

Check out these fine posts!

First up, we have a subject that is near and dear to me these days.    Author Sarah J. Henry on Writer Unboxed writes a great piece on “Learning to Rewrite”.

Following the editorial vein, we have another informative article by novelist Emma Darwin from her blog “This Itch of Writing” (That’s a great name in my opinion for a blog) about “Revising and editting, rebuilding the Orient Express”

Andy Shack from “Andy Shack’s Coming and Goings”  has an article on “How to keep writing when your inner critic screams.” I enjoyed this one tremendously as I need every weapon I can get in my arsenal when the shithead rears its ugly head inside me.

Finally I have another post on Writer Unboxed from Fantasy Novelist Jules Watson writing on character motivation: “Why? Oh why?”

I hope you enjoy these links as much as I did and after you do…get writing!
