If Bukowski did it, so can you: writers who made it late in life. (Via Literary Minded)
Marshall McLuhan is stalking Jacinda Woodhead from beyond the grave.
Is this the best job a writer can have?
Though this one sounds like a lot of fun too!
Lastly, are you as well-read as Lisa Simpson?

These look like good articles! Will certainly have plenty to read this weekend. Otherwise, I will be reading Blackout by Connie Willis. It’s such a great book. :)
