For an intimate portrait of the writing life, there’s no blog better to read than Elizabeth Bear’s they must need bears.

She usually updates a few times every day with little slices of a writer’s life, as well as slices of regular life, too. Her thoughtful posts, short or long, are full of humor.

I wish I knew her. That’s the best compliment, I think, you can give to a blogger.

My favorite recent posts, which illustrate her range:

• Cat v. Monkey: The Furnishing
• Memo to me: Get off my back.
• fighting meme with meme (or) how to usenarrative as a weapon.
• and then they were eaten by bears

Also, she is a Holmesian and thus is perfect.

I am too tired and exhausted to beat on WordPress anymore, which also means I’m too tired and exhausted to write anymore tonight. Goodnight ye.
