Discoveries of the Day

For writers, I give you this quote from Kristine Kathryn Rusch: 

"Ultimately, though, it’s not about money. It’s about creativity and control. If you want to be creative, original, and surprising as a writer, then publish indie. If you want to forge your own path to bestsellerdom, publish indie. Indie allows for creativity and control." - See more at: http://kriswrites.com/2013/08/14/the-business-rusch-the-biggest-news-of-the-summer/#sthash.PoVQyQS1.dpuf

Also for writers of short fiction, poetry, and more… 

"Welcome to The Grinder! The grinder is a submission tracker and market database for writers of fiction (non-fiction and poetry coming soon!).

With new features being added weekly we hope to provide a permanent and stable home for your submission tracking." http://thegrinder.diabolicalplots.com/thegrinder/Default.aspx

For Readers, and Devotees of Oz, I give you: 

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz All the Oz books, the original 14 titles written by L. Frank Baum, free online. One of the characters in my science fiction story Plant Life was inspired by the Vegetable Princess in Baum's stories, and I spent many delighted hours dwelling in Oz with Dorothy, Betsy, Ozma, and many more unforgettable characters…

And for general amusement and because the Internet demands a kitteh picture every so often: 

In 3 - 2 - 1 - Caffeinated Kitteh!   Ok, that's not a today discovery, it's several years old, but I miss my cats, and besides, the idea of a kitten on coffee is making me giggle.
