Here are a few stories to read this Monday morning.

• Lena Orlin delves into why Shakespeare gave his widow his second-best bed. 
• Did you know Alan Moore penned a guide to writing comics? 
• This reader got a wellness check along with her book order. 
• Barnes & Noble supposedly has a new policy where they will only shelve hardcovers with a proven sales record.  (Note: B&N will still sell the books online, but the much hallowed bookstore shelves could be much harder to reach.)
• How does one write a scene when you can’t picture it in your mind? 
• The Economist recently decided to allow the use of the word data as both singular and plural. This is weird because I always thought it was one of those words which was already both singular and plural. (see moose, sheep, etc) 
• Wired published an overview of ebook and audiobook subscription services. 

P.S. I just released an update to Author Website in a Box. This is a complete author website in one easy to install file. The update adds a number of bug fixes plus new page templates for blog and archive pages.
