One of my New Year’s resolutions is to revise the I’m a Fan post on Wednesdays to link to several helpful or entertaining items instead of highlighting one per week. Like so:

• From Freelance Writing Gigs: a list of suggested movies for writers.

• Over at Just Publishing Advice: info on self-publishing audiobooks.

• Go Into the Story outlines the importance of telling people your deadline.

• At Scriptmag: a valuable primer on subtext.

• Good News Networks shares the story of a kid (and possible future historian) who finds an ancient sword the first time he uses a metal detector.
