A few good links for a Tuesday afternoon:

• A great article that’s been making the rounds about how female characters can be more than just “strong.”
• Are you dooming books on your TBR pile?
• Fellow ’14-er Michelle Krys debunks writing/publishing myths like how your idea is completely original.
• Yep, definitely not going to see the Ender’s Game movie.
• I probably shouldn’t have been surprised to learn that some public libraries receive no state funding.
• Emma Watson’s got lit style.
• Well I know what bookends I need now. (Wahoowa!)
• Famous authors and their favorite writing tools. In fifty years, will we be listing different computer models and word processing software?
• Very helpful post on how to read a royalty statement.
• Good news for authors and readers–Barnes and Noble and Simon & Schuster have resolved their dispute.
• Love the idea of an anti-resume for all the jobs/publications/grants/fellowships/etc. that you didn’t get. (via Emily Kaye Lazzaro)
