Hi everybody, hope you’re all having a well-deserved rest and that you enjoyed Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it). Today it’s time to recommend some fun and useful links, blogs and resources that I’ve stumbled upon during the week.

- The Indie Exchange gives great advice about how to Research Your Novel.
- Check out the ‘How I Write’ feature over at A Book and a Latte to hear about the writing processes of other authors.
- I’m thinking of joining Write Club. It looks like good, clean fun. Even if you don’t join in you can get a dose of inspiration from reading the entries.
