Ran across these gems the other day:

From Damian Daily, a funny and informative interview with Howard Mittelmark and Sandra Newman, co-authors of How Not to Write a Novel.

And from Books on the Brain, some highlights from Natalie Goldberg‘s new book, Old Friend From Far Away:

She states that first we must know how to remember, a skill I need to develop as my memory is as hole-y as swiss cheese. She gives exercises and writing prompts on how to discover forgotten memories. One such prompt is to write for 10 minutes about what you don’t remember.

What I don’t remember?? Hmmm. It’s odd how trying to think of things you don’t remember brings up a plethora of things you do. But perhaps that’s the point.
