Assorted Links
Banzai Cat sends in this link, a crime prompt he picked up from Jeff Vandermeer's blog: Weird Crime, Weirder Crimefighters. An excerpt:
The Richland County, South Carolina Sheriff’s Department just obtained an armored personnel carrier, complete with a belt-fed, .50-cal turreted machine gun. Sheriff Leon Lott has charmingly named the vehicle “The Peacemaker,” and insists that using a caliber of ammunition that even the U.S. military is reluctant to use against human targets (it’s generally reserved for use against armored vehicles) will “save lives.”
Village Idiot Savant posts about his writing process on his blog: Putting The Short In Short Fiction. An excerpt:
Short stories, at least the kind I aim to write, rely on an emotional core. This core is usually a pivotal scene which all the other scenes lead up to and from which the denouement descends from.
The longer it takes to reach the scene, the more tedious and boring the work is.
For Neil Gaiman fans, Zen In Darkness sends in this link which lists essays on Mr. Gaiman's comic work.
