Five Links Friday 8/2/13

Well here I am still trying to catch up with life.  I did manage to make a lot of progress in the writing world in the last few weeks, but more on that later.  For now, here are five articles I read this week.
 
1. If you're a new writer, there's plenty of good advice out there.  There's also plenty of bad advice.  Here are the 4 Worst Pieces Of Advice For Young Writers from polymic.com

2. Having trouble with infodumps?  Aren't we all.  J.E. Tankersley has an article about it here: Let’s talk about dumping…

3. And opening sentences?  Stephen King shares some of his thoughts in this article in The Atlantic: Why Stephen King Spends 'Months and Even Years' Writing Opening Sentences

4. Here's an article from Charlie Jane Anders looking at the 7 Deadly Sins of Worldbuilding.

5. And finally, for those of us searching for an agent, check out this post by Chuck Sambuchino at thewritelife.com: What Does a Literary Agent Want to See When They Google You?

And that's all.  Hope you enjoy; have a great weekend.  And wish me luck with my editing :)
