Reflections of a working writer and reader
A block is when we can't get through to the real thing. Many writers write a great deal, but very few write more than a very little of the real thing. So most writing must be displaced activity. When cockerels confront each other and daren't fight, they busily start pecking imaginary grains off to the side. That's displaced activity. Much of what we do is a bit like that, I fancy. But it's hard to know which is which. Ted Hughes
A new site, Wordsy, promises to fill the gap occasioned by Digg consistently refusing to have a section for the world of books. Once you’re registered (relatively painless procedure) you can vote for stories, comment, or even submit stories of your own.

This is brilliant. Digg for the intelligentsia, um, the brainy ones, or what were we nominated as again?
In any case, it does look very pretty and it’s yet another source for some (perhaps) interesting ‘book news’.
And I could register as just ‘Nils’. When was the last time that happened?
jb says: Don’t get too excited, Nils; feels like it could go either way at the moment.
This sounds rather interesting but then on the other hand I have yet to hear about this. What was the out come of this process.
