That thing I read once on the internet

I'm a citizen of the networked world. Or something. I read stuff on the internet all the time, think 'man, I really must remember that', and then immediately forget it. Sometimes I send myself an email, or save a text file somewhere, or star an article in my RSS reader, but those things never work. So I'm going to try something new: I'm going to make a list of internet-writings I want to remember here on the blog.

Really, this post is for me. I'll come back to it (probably) and update it in the future, but I'm unlikely to call out the fact that I'm updating it. Maybe you'll find something that interests you here too, but I'm just going to call that a bonus. You cool with that?

So here's the list:

• Jeremiah Tolbert, conflicted about whether what he writes matters.
• Janice Hardy with practical notes on showing-not-telling.
• Janice Hardy on making your descriptions help your story.
• Janice Hardy on the rule of three. 
• Warren Ellis on the links between crime fiction and science fiction.
• Erica Holt with basic tips on standing out in the slush pile.
• The Intern with ten reasons why a scene should be rewritten.
• Janice Hardy on scenes needing three reasons to exist.
• China Mieville (and M John Harrison) get punchy about world-building. In a good way.
• Janice Hardy again! On raising tension!
• Rick Spilman on anthropomorphisatoring ships. 
• Courtney Schafer's ode to joy. 
• Stina Leicht with some simple, just-enjoy-it comments. 
• Sherwood Smith, on the connections between space opera and epic fantasy.
• Janice Hardy, on interesting people, problems and solutions.
• Dave Trowbridge on a connection between space opera and the Siege of Vienna.
• I should just bookmark Janice Hardy (on fleshing out plots).
• Paul Guthrie on a new look at magic as science. Less for the content than the idea.
• Teresa Frohock on writing children, Guillermo del Toro style.
• Bradley P. Beaulieu with ten bits of advice for writers. 
• T. N. Tobias talks about writing action (which I suck at).
• Standard manuscript format.
• It's that Janice Hardy again, with advice on protagonists and choices.
• Oh look, more Janice Hardy! She's internalising.

• Some (possibly useful?) advice on avoiding viewpoint mistakes. 
• James Sutter, via Inkpunks, arguing that it's okay to be a hack.

• Terry Bisson's 60 (slightly distressing) rules for short SF. 
• Nayad Monroe, with five possibly useful things she learnt from reading slush. 
• Wendy Wagner on balancing scope. Interesting because I love the large-scale stuff.
• Juliette Wade gives some advice on endings.
• Aliette de Bodard on simplicity and SF. 
• Chuck Wendig on messing with your characters (I should really just link to Chuck Wendig's blog and Janice Hardy's blog and be done with it.)
• Jaym Gates and assorted editors on avoiding self-rejection. 
• T. N. Tobias with lists of ways to come up with character names.
• Janice Hardy, on conflicts that don't involve throwing punches.

• Cory Doctorow on why sci-fi movies drive him crazy (portrayal of science and scientists, mostly).
• The Intern on keeping conflict interesting. 
• Jeff Ford on being profound (basically: don't. Or, at least, don't force it.)
• How not to open a short story by Philip Athans.
• Seven craft lessons every writer should learn. Apparently.
