How To Write Web Video: Letting My Friends Do All The Work

Is there anybody out there? Heeeeellllllllloooooo?

Who a I kidding? Nobody reads on the Internets at the end of the year. Including myself. The litblogosphere is a graveyard dotted with sign-offs and holiday wishes.

Before my own sign-off until January, I have two posts to spotlight. First, Maud blogged about the STUNNING New Yorker article/short-story combo about one of my favorite short story writers. Follow her links and see if you can answer her question:

"Why is the New Yorker article about Gordon Lish’s shaping of Raymond Carver’s early fiction unsigned?"

Secondly, Steve Bryant and Jeffrey Yamaguchi have passed along a funny link to two brothers who decided they would only communicate via web video. For a year. It's a lesson in good web video writing, and I think Steve nailed it with his post:

"Poor Ze Frank. Judging from the sheer number of imitators out there, his unique voice has metastasized throughout the Net, which has adopted his cadence into the Internet's own newscaster tone. Y'know that tone. The same one every TV newscaster uses to emote appropriately. Everyone's a talking head now."
