AnthologyBuilder is holding a Match-That-Artwork contest: http://www.anthologybuilder.com/match-t.... Fun concept, great prizes.
I've created a few twitter bots that might be of interest here: @storytelling - news about aspects of storytelling, @del_rpg - rpg related news, @webmmo - web-based rpg news. They are just gateways to delicious feeds, but they are very handy.

Invitation to join the discussion during Day of Blogs - http://esoteric-renaissance.com/...
My friend and I will be participating in the Day of Blogs event on Saturday, July 26, and I thought I would extend an invitation to members of this group to join the discussion. This year we will be discussing various subgenres of Fantasy and Science Fiction. It will mostly be done as a sort of introduction and overview, covering everything from books to movies to art, as the event draws a widely diverse group of followers. But, we would love for anyone with an opinion or recommendations to drop by and add your thoughts and comments to the topics as we go. Comments on the blog are being handled via Disqus and the feed will be coming through FriendFeed as well, so you can all follow along here if you like. :-D

I just released my first novel - Prince of the Elves - through BookSurge. I know, I know. A parent always thinks their's is the best. But really, it is a great story.
So what do you use to write?

I plot, jot ideas and notes, write snippets, and write chapters mostly in a Google Sites wiki. But I often post stuff to Evernote via my phone, or jot stuff in a Moleskine. I used to do the ideas and plotting in Google Notebooks and a Moleskine and write in Google Docs. Presently, I'll probably keep my first draft in the wiki, then eventually move to Google Docs.

I'm an old school girl - I go between pen and ink to MS Word and back. If I'm working on something with my writing partner, from pen and ink to our private message board with back-ups on my hard drive. Research notes and clippings from the web are put into Evernote for ease of transfer between work and home. But, I guess I find a blank page in a notebook less daunting than a blank computer screen. Plus, breaking out a laptop on the subway is a good way to get it stolen. heh.

Most of the work happens in my brain, usually while listening to music. I scribble here and there, and then "draft" by writing it down, pretty much in rough draft form. I have some cursory outline stuff, but not much. When it comes to rewriting and organizing, I use Scrivener. It's the best program for me, and sort of forces me to be organized and think strategically. It's Mac only, which suits me fine. :)

like everyone (it seems), I use evernote to gather ideas, dramatica to form and shape the idea, and pages to write.

I'm with Kirasha lately. Notebook to word. Rinse. Repeat.
- Jeremy James
For quick ideas, I send emails to myself, 'save to draft' is a great function.

Pen and paper, or a standard word processor. Sometimes even just a text editor. It's easier to think with a pen in my hand.
