Literary Odds and Ends

Marjorie Liu has a great blog post up at Babel Clash, the Borders sci fi blog, about loving all challenges. It's a great reminder not just for writing, but for life too. My favorite lines:

"You never stop learning. You never let yourself grow complacent. Love the challenge of trying new things, of taking opportunities that are a risk — but a lovely risk that will feed you, and teach you, and expand your view of what is possible."

And, if you haven't discovered Slush Pile Hell, go forth! It's a hilarious glimpse at a literary agent's take on failed query letters and well worth the travel time.
