A Few Excellent posts spotted today

[erastes]

Around the Interwebs:

1. Heidi Cullinan discusses puddles and gives some advice for authors and readers of m/m

I can’t say I agree with all of it, but the basic lessons are very sound. I’ve given my tuppence worth.

2. Building Readership by Alan Chin.  I like what Alan says here (his blog posts are always worth subscribing to) – particularly THIS:

Please don’t misunderstand; I’m not suggesting that my stories are in the same league as Alex Jeffers and Felice Picano and others of that caliber. What I’m saying is my focus is on improving my craft so that one day, hopefully, I will publish the kind of superior stories of those writers I so admire.

Although he does himself an injustice, as he already writes as well as those men.
