This week I’m doing a historical fiction workshop over at Romance Divas. They’re putting me through the wringer with good and interesting questions about writing, fiction and chickens.

Carolyn’s Workshop at Romance Divas. Even after this week is done, the link will be good, so please do come by, ask questions, leave comments, admire my brilliance or even disagree.

Here are some other interesting links I’ve come across lately:

P.S. Kathleen Bolton and Therese Walsh at Writer Unboxed have posted the article they co-wrote with Elena on “Lessons from the Lord of the Rings”. Read it for lots of geeky analysis of what writers can learn from the choices made in adapting the trilogy for film, along with only a teensy bit of gushing over Sean, Viggo, Orlando, etc…
