A few interesting things I found this week:

• If you’re into history and want to dig into some intriguing details, I suggest a visit to History the Interesting Bits.

• Over on his website, Steven Pressfield discusses the need for historical fiction and its ability to portray notions such as honor and integrity in a way that contemporary literature cannot.

• While you’re on Pressfield’s site, take advantage of all the expertise he imparts. I recommend starting here.

• Writer Melanie Roussel has an informative and entertaining post on technobabble. This is a must read for those who write science fiction or speculative fiction.

• Just Publishing Advice explains how to copy and paste a link or book URL correctly. Honestly, I didn’t think about this topic much before stumbling onto this post. Good info.

• Eager to visit the Sistine Chapel but too busy to travel? Not to worry, you can take a virtual tour through the Musei Vaticani site. Be sure to visit its other museums and other virtual tours.
