Lots of good links to get you through the middle of hte week:

• I’d like to add “nonplussed” to this list of words that don’t sound like what they mean.
• You can vote on the cover of Elizabeth Gilbert’s next book.
• The Princess Bride and Cyrano de Bergerac? Yeah, I totally read like a Hufflepuff.
• No surprise that librarians make excellent writers.
• I am really distraught that the Lizzie Bennet Diaries is almost over, but it’s not over until we celebrate on Thursday! And I am SO happy to know they’ll live on via Kickstarter.
• Not sure if Hemingway’s Instagram would be epic (bull fights! exotic locations!) or embarrassing (fishing? drunkface selfies?).
• I’m not sure whether I should be laughing or crying.
• Interesting (but, sadly, not entirely surprising) look at the correlation between heteronormativity and popularity in school.
• East Coast vs. West Coast hip-hop? I want to see Chicago Manual of Style vs. The Elements of Style rap battle.
• Need the coffee shop ambiance without having to fight for an outlet? Try Coffivity. (via the Official SCBWI Blog)
• Fellow 2014 debut author Natalie C. Parker talks about what kind of critiques there are and what makes a good critique partner (with Firefly gifs!!!)
• Usually I begrudge celebrity authors, but Sonia Manzano (aka Sesame Street’s Maria) has, you know, some experience with children’s education and development.
• The Horn Book looks at what makes a good YA coming-out novel. My favorite part: “Coming-out stories don’t unfold in a vacuum, and nor do teens’ own lives. The best books integrate queer teens’ coming-of-age stories into the rich and varied spectrum of human experience.”
