This was a sad week with the deaths of musician David Bowie and actor Alan Rickman, who played Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies (among other roles). I shared an Alan Rickman quote on Facebook that has been making the rounds, only to learn based on a Snopes report that he is not the source of the quote! (If you've never used Snopes, it's a great site for debunking reports like potential carjackers leaving a flyer on your windshield.) I'm posting a corrected meme here for your use, because as a writer, I like to be accurate.
For my Friday Five, here are five blog posts/tidbits I came across this week:
For declutterers and Marie Kondo fans: I blogged about her first book, The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, last year. Now she has a new one out, Spark Joy. (I haven't read it yet, so if you have, let me know what you think in the comments.)
For Teen Writers: "3 Things for Teen Writers" by Blair H. on Teen Ink.
For writers of all ages: Not everyone loves social media, and even for those who do, it's not the only way to promote books. Sandra Beckwith discusses How To Promote a Book Without Using Social Media.
For the bored: Try the Bored Button! (Results may vary.)
For readers: Do you have any favorite books from David Bowie's list of top 100?
