Sunday Coffee Reads Week #1

As I said in my Plans and Goals and Stuff post, Sunday mornings is when I read my way through all the interesting tidbits I’ve come upon during the week: tweets I’ve marked as favorite, Google Reader posts I’ve starred and articles I’ve mailed myself links to while waiting out an ad break. Then I add the ones I think everyone else might find interesting to Buffer, so they get tweeted during the week. (Note: I tweet what I think is interesting, not necessarily what I agree with.) But I thought that this year, I would pick the cream of the crop of a little Sunday morning link fest, so you have something to read with your coffee too. Here goes…

(This week I was a bit disorganized so I just went back through my own stream looking for my tweets. In the future though I’ll try to keep it to the original tweets. Spice things up a little.)

In other news, Catherine, Caffeinated was picked as one of Future of Ink’s Top 10 Self-Publishing blogs. Woo-hoo! This was kind of a big deal, because the award was judged, and the judges included pillars of self-publishing knowledge and success such as Mark Coker, founder of Smashwords. (Judged as opposed to voted on by internet users, which only ever leads to abuse/popularity contests.) So thank you to whomever nominated me in the first place, thanks to the judges for picking me (alongside some of my all-time favorite self-publishing blogs!) and thank you for sticking around here all this time, reading what I write.

And this isn’t a link but it’s certainly something to think about:

Until next week…
