A little more literary fun for the rest of a rainy day:

• I was too scared to read R.L. Stine’s books when I was young, but this interview with the Goosebumps author isn’t scary at all. My favorite part: ““People say, ‘What advice do you have for people who want to be writers?’ I say, they don’t really need advice, they know they want to be writers, and they’re gonna do it.”
• Advice how to avoid making common mistakes at conferences.
• The children’s publishing world is getting into rock & roll. Parents might enjoy these even more than the kids.
• A look at horribly miscast literary roles. Alexis Bledel, you’re awesome, but you’re so not Winnie Foster.
