Weekly Links: this week, it's all about writing



SOME INTERESTING LINKS FOR YOUR SUNDAY AFTERNOON, SET OUT IN MY USUAL CATEGORIES of faith, family, and fiction.


Faith 

-"How Methodists Invented Your Kid's Grape Juice Sugar High"

-"Save Your Soul: Stop Writing"

-"A Near Miss": on a good movie missing because it thinks religion isn't a legitimate part of culture.

-"On The Theology of Sleep"


Family


-"Laws of Food and Drink; Household Principles; Lamentations of the Father": If you are a parent who knows what the King James version of the Old Testament sounds like, this will make you laugh.


Fiction


-"The Glamorous Life of the Writer": One of my favorite authors, Elizabeth Moon, tells it like it is.

-"Money and the Writer"

-"Misinterpretable Words": on living with a changing language (as we all do).

-"Why Do Books Written By Women Get Such Terrible Book Covers"

-"Understanding Shakespeare" - a lovely, annotated and connected digital library, so that you can research the research to your heart's delight.


Have a great weekend!

Peace of Christ to you,

Jessica Snell
