Now, the most interesting posts in the blogosphere about telling stories…

Art and Craft

• Let’s start with a humorous–or maybe just controversial–piece by Aspeth, “How To Write Chick Lit In Ten Easy Steps.”

The Business of Writing

• Many of us dream about writing the Great American Novel. Few actually do. For those of us who want to turn dream into reality, Alfa King has some advice on how to get started writing a book.

• Mad Kane for those of us who have actually submitted anything to a publisher or hundred, Mad Kane on her Humor Blog posts a fantasy “Dear Editor” letter and wonders “how many magazine and book editors have gotten letters like this.”

• As a completely unsolicited bonus, discovered by yours truly, let me point you toward Fred Quattrone’s blog, The Truth About Writing. He tells “Why Other Writers Annoy Me: The Self-Publishing Stigma and Other Ranting.”

Fiction

• Elvis D’Silva gives us a story of a grandfather’s secret in “Generations”.

And that is this edition of the Carnival of Storytelling! Feel free to comment here or e-mail me to let me know what you think.
