To break the seriousness of the advising posts, here is some fun.
Did you always want to know what sounds punches and kicks make? Well, maybe not, but I do now for a story I am working on, so the linked Onomatopoeia Dictionary comes in handy.

Some stories that I’ve read in the last few weeks and that I either liked or had other strong feelings about:
I Won at NaSuHeMo! (one of the writers who inspire with both the quality and volume of their speculative fiction)
Oshun, Inc. (just beautiful; it made me very happy)
Taiya (on ghosts, isolation, and depression)
Midnight Plus Thirty (I wish I could write like this)
Burp (or like this; I love Jersey Devil Press)
The Husband Stitch (won’t make you happy, but will blow your mind; also, a nice accompanying article)
The Mouse Petition (a lovely story in Wigleaf, a top literary flash zine)
Two Micros (the first one is a nice thought, but seriously, one sentence?)
