From Thought Catalog…I don’t really care whether the extroverts of the world say such things to us introverts. They can say whatever they want. But, I will probably ignore them, and go home to read a book.
From mental_floss; my favorite:

When it comes to poetry, there are more formal types than the casual reader may realize. There’s definitely more to poetry than the rhyming sentiments in greeting cards, though many of those verses do adhere to one of these style forms. The poetry types listed here are a mere sampling of the many different forms out there, and can serve as an interesting starting point for a deeper study of poetry and its many styles.

From The New Yorker, an interesting list of “lists.’
Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2013 James Ament From Penelope Trunk (Hat tip: Althouse)—a great list. As a retiree, I still follow some of the items on the list (1, 5, 11, 13, and 15), at least so far; but since I see myself a writer, # 12 made me wince. Perhaps I should embrace the “people who are serious about ideas are blogging“ advice a little more, however:
12. They don’t write books. The book industry is dead. They have no control over distribution channels and they have no control over author publicity, so the value publishers add in the book business is pretty much zero. Amazon so completely dominates the book industry that Forbes declared that Amazon is now ripe for disruption—they are the publishing model to beat. So for now, if you have an idea, put it in a blog. Harvard Business Review says that people who are serious about ideas are blogging.
