Friday Hangovers

• The wonderful Cynthia Leitich Smith on paying it forward and supporting new voices. This is such a great post, and from someone who truly practices this. I am so grateful for all Cyn's--and everyone else's--support this crazy debut year (and throughout my writing life). It has made a world of difference. And I try to pay back that karma whenever I can. Love y'all.
• Terri Windling has a big holiday print sale going on. These make great presents--for yourself or for someone else. We have several of Terri's pieces, and looking at them never fails to make me happy.
• Justine Musk has a brilliant post on process over perfection, and the power risking imperfection can bestow.
• Gillian Berry offers a report on a recent YA panel on gender in YA fantasy. 
• Agent Michael Bourret on the changing YA/children's NYT bestseller lists.
• TCM's video tribute to movie professionals who passed away in 2012. We lost some greats this year.
• Austin Kleon's year in reading; full of interesting stuff. I just started the David Byrne book.
• Tansy Rayner Roberts rounds up some more gender and historical accuracy in fantasy-related posts.
• And over at the Midnyte Reader you can read all about Libba's and my event at Oblong Books and win signed goodies. Go forth and enter.
