Because my hobby is procrastinating doing any sort of real work, I have recently discovered many fun things around the internet that you lovely little bibliophiles might want to take a look at.
Literature inspired wall prints
I don't know who this is or where they came from, but these minimalist prints are absolutely gorgeous. They're all less than $30; you can find them on his Etsy site here.
So many movies, so little time.
The LA Times complied a list of YA and MG books that have been optioned for movies, including my favorite The Lost Years of Merlin and Libba Bray's newest novel The Diviners. What do you want to see on the big screen?
Are you a fan of mythology?
In my imaginary free time, I've been reading more about mythology - because, hey, why not? If you're interested, you might want to check out the following sites:
- The Pantheon: online encyclopedia of all myths ever
- The Luminarium: old school website on Irish mythology
- Strange Science: where mythological creatures first appeared in history
- Labyrinth: Arthurian legend: a search engine tailored for Arthurian myths
A shameless promotion.
I've always been a fan of online roleplaying; I think it's a great way to develop writing skills. This is a shameless plug for Rainbow Mists Weyr, which is where I roleplay DragonRiders of Pern. If you're interested in checking out what it's like to roleplay online, you can stick your nose over and see the format and stuff.
NaNoWriMo is going on!
NaNoWriMo is going on! I'll be blogging my progress over at my personal tumblr. My biggest problem has always been naming characters, but I thought I'd give a couple of sites I find helpful for writing since I'm in the middle of it.
- Nymbler: a baby naming site, customized by names you like
- Fantasy Name Generator: kind of self explanatory
- The Septic's Companion: a list of British insults (and some other fun stuff)
- Writers' Digest: writing prompts!
- Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America: a list of worldbuilding questions
