Is blogging your book dangerous?
Writing over at the fabulous Institute for the Future of the Book, Siva Vaidhyanathan explores why he's scared of live-blogging his book while he writes it. But that won't stop him from doing it:
"[I]t could get ugly in here. I could make tremendous mistakes. I could shoot something out there that shuts all doors at Google. I could undermine my ultimate market (but I seriously doubt that I could). I could just write myself into a corner." (Thanks, Quick Study!)
What happens next for Sarah Weinman, book critic, former GalleyCat editor, and mystery expert? Check out this interview with Kacey Kowars for some writing advice from a lit-blog leader.
Finally, Charlie Stross just wrote a book that made me really, really excited to read. More details forthcoming, but just listen to this
"[A] novel about a "multimillion dollar heist in gamespace." It's a sticky idea, and one that a lot of us are going to end up playing with over the years -- but it's also clearly one that Charlie has had an indecent amount of fun playing with."
