Blogs worth paying attention to

One thing I didn't like about my time on Live Journal was how it shrank my entire inter-web experience down to that which could be conveniently and lazily fed to me via my "Friends List." Now that I'm out of that filtered environment and on my own to find good journal reads, my surfing through blog-land has turned up a few gems over the last few days, to wit:

• Asking the Wrong Questions - the blog of a well-spoken and insightful genre fan. She doesn't care for Martin, but she thinks Mal Reynolds needs a hug, so I won't hold the former against her.



• The Splintered Mind - a humorous and insightful column about the foibles of living with Adult ADD. Delightfully free of self-pity and boring medication talk, big on self-depricating humor and encouragement.



• Miss Snark, the Literary Agent - A real live book agent swills back gin and props her stilletos on the desk and commences to dispense free (and entertaining) industry advice.

And now to stop with the surfing and do some actual work.
