Online - Thirty Tools for Writers

[ Author’s note: Of the many things I’ve written for the Poynter website, none has been as popular as my "Twenty Tools for Writers." This list has been quoted, cited, praised, debated, and repurposed by writers, editors, teachers, and other professionals who care about the craft. That folks find these tools useful gives me courage. http://www.poynter.org/uncategorized/716/thirty-tools-for-writers/

James Fallows on Outlining Software

While out of range for the past week, I've not weighed in on a lot of subjects I would normally have a view on, from the Nigerian would-be suicide bomber, to the nature and function of the TSA, to the implications of press and judicial developments within China, to the latest twist in China's policy on the RMB. I will plan to catch up, on each and all, in the next day or two. http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2010/01/happy-new-year-starting-off-right-with-interesting-software/32831/
