► If funding develops, Chicago will become home one day to a planned American Writers Museum.
► Attention memoir writers and personal essayists who are sincerely concerned about how what we write will affect other people – Rights of Others is a blog you'll want to bookmark.
► Shelf Awareness, the excellent daily enewsletter for those in the book trade, now publishes a not-so-frequent, but equally wonderful one for readers, chock full of reviews and other news.
► I wonder why more out-of-work, experience investigative journalists have not applied for these grants, which are still available.
► Promoting a book of poetry can test even the most creative sort. That's why I love this idea: For a week or so, you can call the author, Heather Christie, and she reads you a poem. Maybe she was trying to avoid the (reality or perception?) that "no one cares about your (bookstore) reading"?
► Whether you are a closet science geek, or need new places to find ideas about science-related topics for your writing, you'll be interested in Scientific American's new venture, grouping some 60 science blogs in one place. I took a very brief, casual tour around and read some truly interesting stuff.
►There are so many places, ways and reasons to teach writing outside of academia, and I am always interested in the people who do so, like this woman.
► I love, love this comingling of poetry, prose, brevity and developing a daily writing practice. Think about joining me - dive into the river and write a "small stone" every day that remains in July.
► In 21 days, you could transform some aspect of your life, by breaking an old habit or creating a new one, according to loopchange (and science); so I'm thinking, for those struggling to establish a daily writing habit – might noting your intention on this new social site, cheering others on in their new habit goals, and reaping members' encouragement, get you going?
►Finally, just for fun, what if a women's magazine wrote headlines and articles that truly reflected real lives?
Have a great weekend.

How did you find all of these links! It must have taken hours. The one about writers and the law is particularly interesting, for me anyway.
Nice work.
Hi Ann,
Glad you enjoyed the links, but actually it takes me very little time: I don't really go looking for them, they seem to gather themselves as I wander through the web, usually in search of soemthing else entirely.
Yes, I agree, the law/writing site was a real find.

Thank you! These are so fun! I signed up for the small stones for the rest of the month. Can't wait to see where it leads me!
