The Best Author Blogs. It is no secret that authors write some of the very best blogs.
Our editors have compiled a list of author blogs that they believe are truly outstanding. The list ties in with the article, "The Author's Dilemma: To Blog or Not to Blog" and our blogging section. Although the styles and subject matter of the author blogs vary widely, they all share two important qualities: they are all frequently updated and interesting to read. We have also included some group blogs and blogging resources.
Iceberg Theory. The Iceberg Theory (also known as the "theory of omission") is the writing style of American writer Ernest Hemingway.

New Canadian research finds reading a literary short story increases one’s comfort with ambiguity.
Are you uncomfortable with ambiguity? It’s a common condition, but a highly problematic one. The compulsion to quell that unease can inspire snap judgments, rigid thinking, and bad decision-making. Fortunately, new research suggests a simple antidote for this affliction: Read more literary fiction. A trio of University of Toronto scholars, led by psychologist Maja Djikic, report that people who have just read a short story have less need for what psychologists call “cognitive closure.” “Exposure to literature,” the researchers write in the Creativity Research Journal, “may offer a (way for people) to become more likely to open their minds.” “The reader can simulate the thinking styles even of people he or she might personally dislike. Djikic and her colleagues describe an experiment featuring 100 University of Toronto students.
