Great story about the Writers of the Nervous Breakdown blog community

N.L. of Noveltown and ABC23 wrote a great story about the writers of the Nervous Breakdown blog community. TheNervousBreakdown.com is one of my favorite literary blog sites because of the quality of the writing.

Check out N.L.'s article and mini-documentary on TheNervousBreakdown.com. Not only does Rich Ferguson do some great performance art, Brad Listi and Lenore Zion both make some incredible remarks. Brenda Knight adds some zest in the article when she talks about J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and the Beat Generation and how they would form blog communities if around today.

Check out the article, "Non-Striking Writers Form Attention-Getting Blog Site"

Here's an Excerpt:

Nick Belardes of ABC23 caught up with the brainchild of the site, LA Times best selling author of "Attention. Deficit. Disorder," Brad Listi, and some of the writers of thenervousbreakdown.com near downtown Los Angeles to find out just what the buzz was all about.

Listi, also a professor at Santa Monica College, said, "It's a site that features a multitude of great writers, literary writers from around the world." He added, "What separates us from a lot of other blog sites, or whatever you'd like to call it, is that we're featuring writing of a real literary quality, and it's a one-stop place where readers who are enthusiastic about quality writing can come on a daily basis and hear from all these great voices."
