Friday Finds

- Aussie journal Kill Your Darlings has announced their columnists for 2013! I'm not overly familiar with any of them, but they seem like a good bunch and I'm keen to see their output over the next week.

- Chuck Wendig brings the lolz and the reality checks (as always) in 25 Hard Truths About Writing and Publishing.

- The Atlantic Wire has got an awesome literary tour of historical YA fiction over on their website. This is great in an adding-to-my-to-read-list way, but also in a read-to-research-the-genre way. Plus, I'm pretty partial to Libba Bray and Markus Zusak, so it was nice to see them on here (code for: read them, everyone!)

- Also, this animationless motion comic of a guy hired to kill death is the best side of amazing.

- Dresses based on platforms and social networking websites! Dresses based on websites. And they are amazing. I would wear all of them.

- And floral beards!

- And delicious cakes! (Warning: this is basically food porn).
