Ok, so I know these are long. I really was going to come up with my own thoughts based on these three talks, but they're just too good not to pass on. If you have to wait till your boss isn't looking, or even till you're home later tonight, so be it. But watch. You won't regret it.

Anyone else have some good TED talk recommendations, or just know of some good writerly vids?
This is a coincidence because I've been watching several TED talks over the last few days! I don't have any specific ones about writing to recommend, but I would definitely advocate searching TED talks for research on topics you are writing about, especially for sci-fi writers!
I don't even know who TED is or what that is...hmmm....
BUT, remember that comment I left for you yesterday?
I wrote up the post about agents and genres, so I expect you not only to read it, but to leave me a comment :) http://www.tademings.com/2012/03/agents-and-genres.html

The TED where Sarah Kaye is talking. She is a poet and shares some beautiful words. I highly recommend it! It is also on youtube.
