The Writing Wire for 10/24


Here's the haps for Friday, Oct. 24:

The Guardian asks which character has the worst name in fiction?

• Should mystery writers have rules? The Sun-Sentinel's Off The Page book blog says nay.

• PoeWar explains how to map out your novel's characters.

• Sarah Weinman on the David Foster Wallace memorial.

• Ken Levine shows what happens when a table reading goes nuts.

• Words I'd never thought I'd see together: outsourcing and copy editing. USA Today has the scoop.

• Could the Smiths be close to reuniting?

• Paul Westerberg talks to The Guardian about The Replacement's legacy.

• Zombie will like this: Topless Robot lists the top zombie movies of all time.

Thanks for the link to the list, but hoooo, do I disagree with some of their pics. What is Junk doing on there?? Serpent and the Rainbow? Yikes. Someone's gonna start a war over there. (Or, perhaps make their own list here...)
