I hate to bore you, I really do.
But I still haven't finished that damn chapter, and now I have 3 due. 3.
I had coffee with a very wise friend today, and she said, "Just sit down and write for 10 minutes a day." So that is what I will do. By this time next week this ghastly chapter will be finished, dammit!
But now have a look at some fabulous things:

(Vietnamese-American writer Vu Tran)

• I just signed up for iBooks today, so was delighted to discover this "how to" guide (may take a little while to load).
• diaCRITICS has an interesting interview with Vietnamese-American artist Vu Tran.
• I am hopeless at networking - I am the proverbial wallflower. So I need all the advice I can get, and kind of liked Master Networking's simple breakdown of how to network effectively.
• I am trilingual, and hoping to add my fourth, so was interested to learn that this will be good for my brain. From the Los Angeles Times.
• Benjamin Law is the thinking man's sex symbol.
• Inner West Live visits Pho An, the perennial Vietnamese favourite in Bankstown.
• People just assume that any old cliche has its origin in the Bible, but CNN tells us that this is no so.
• Australian sci-fi author Marianne De Pierres, whose brilliant new novel Burn Bright I am reading at the moment, talks about authors and social media. From Adventures of a Bookonaut.
• Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us how to have a healthy relationship with food.
  
• Publishing Perspectives reviews Banana Yoshimoto's new book.
• Andrej Pejic is just extraordinary (and Australian!), and it has been interesting to see all the scandal around him this past week. Queerty explores just how many people are challenged by this gender-crossing beauty.
