Just found a post by Joan Kremer about markets for writers in Second Life. The “L” you see in front of the payment info refers to Linden dollars, the currency of Second Life. (Edit: I’ll be interviewing Joan about her experiences as a writer on Second Life in an upcoming Inkygirl post.)

For those not familiar with Second Life, SL users use Lindens to buy and sell merchandise, land and services. In the Real World (RL), 250 Linden dollars (L$) is the rough equivalent of 1 U.S. dollar. Payment rates in SL, therefore, are pretty low compared to regular print publications — but could be an interesting way to accumulate writing credits and useful L$ for those on Second Life.

Laura Milligan from Learn-gasm has posted a list of useful Google apps for writers. From the article’s intro:

With its new applications and tools, Google continues to make it easier to manage all that. Below are some of our top picks for the most useful Google apps for writers.
