It must be Tuesday

Because we have some links:

• "Don't let your own masterpieces go unwritten." Advice from David Farland on process, developing one's gifts, and hard work. (h/t to John R)
• Dark Crystal author quest, you say? Looks like Penguin Young Readers Group and the Jim Henson Company are sponsoring a contest to find the author of a new series of novels based on the movie. Visit http://www.darkcrystal.com/authorquest/  for background information and rules. Submissions are accepted beginning October first and must be in no later than January first. (h/t to Emma M)
• The Setup, the first in a series on story structure from Rakestraw Book Design. (h/t to Kristina B)

Thanks for the good stuff, folks. I assume everyone (but me) is getting lots of writing done during our cold, dreary Juneuary downpours?
