Around the Web: For the Love of Lists

This Guy is a Graphologist...Not a Paid Actor

This week, we ran a great article entitled, "What Does Your Handwriting Say About You?" written by our friends at Quill Office Supplies. Coincidentally, this week I happened upon a fun little interactive website that actually helps you analyze your own handwriting, with the help of a "specialist" via web video. It's really funny and, oddly enough, pretty accurate in my experience. Give it a try here.

The Doctor Is Out

Dark chocolate lowers cholesterol? Cayenne pepper cures a sore throat? That's my kind of medicine! EarthClinic offers a "treasure chest of home remedies" in an easy to use format. Click on the "ailments" tab and search for your problem. Select the "remedies" tab and see what your favorite foods can do. I wouldn't recommend firing your MD just yet, but it's still fun to see the variety of all-natural, alternative remedies for everyday health problems.

We Writers

WeBook is a very cool website for all of us writers. Here's how it works: sign up and start a project. You can upload a novel, short story, poem, or anything else you've been working on. Once it's out there, people will immediately start offering feedback. You can also read the work of others and offer your own critique as well. Once you've gotten some feedback on your writing, and perhaps made some revisions, you can submit a piece to be voted on by the community. At different times, various works are selected by the community to be published by WeBooks. It's really a fabulous concept and a great way for writers to gain confidence and build a support network of peers.  

Hi. My name is Chrissy and I love lists.

Finally, there's a place for folks like me! It's called Listverse and I can't recommend it enough. You can find lists of the most unbelievable things. In just browsing for about 10 minutes, I built my own list of books I absolutely need to read right away. I stumbled over the Top 10 Most Disturbing Novels list and yes, that's my cup of tea. But whatever it is you're into, you'll find a list here (Top 25 Famous Redheads, Top 10 Best Actors Turned Rappers, 10 Great Female Cartoon Voice Actors just to name a few). And the best part is the comments section. Most lists have anywhere from 100 to 200 reader comments that add additional items to the list. Believe me, you'll be sucked in for hours!
