If you’re doing NaNoWriMo this month, you should be roughly a third of the way through and might need a bit of a break.<\/p>\n

If you aren’t participating in National Novel Writing Month, that’s okay.\u00a0 It’s still Friday and maybe you just need a break.\u00a0 Either way, I think I’ve got you covered this week.\u00a0 At least, I’ve got you covered if you like science-fiction, famous authors, and cranky discussions about literature and marketing.\u00a0 It also helps if you like Studs Terkel or Gene Wolfe or Issac Asimov or Harlan Ellison.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because the link I have for you has all those things in it, all those writers talking about literature, science-fiction, and the state of the world.\u00a0 In 1982.\u00a0 More than 30 years ago, but it’s all still quite relevant.
\nSo, for whatever your reason, take a break and head over to the Observation Deck at Kinja and watch\/listen to these brilliant men talk<\/a> about some of the most interesting things in the universe.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!
\nThen get back to writing and I’ll see you next week!<\/p>\n
