• Back in July, Cody Delistraty wrote about the myth of the "lone genius". Creators always create in some sort of community.


• Patricia Wrede writes about the challenges involved in creating an imaginary society for a fiction setting.


• JSTOR Daily notes how the choices of Truman Capote played a critical role in advancing the "New Journalism".


• This article at The Atlantic takes a look at how poetry has enjoyed a remarkable revival, commercially at least, through the online accounts of writers like Rupi Kaur.


• Beth Skwarecki at Lifehacker shares tips for writers interested in producing a manuscript during this year's NaNoWriMo. (I am just blindly going ahead, myself. Wish me luck!)
