Midweek Weekender
Here are a few interesting sites to encourage writers.
Big Idea has authors discussing how a novel developed from conception on.
Here’s an article by Cory Doctorow on Writing in the Age of Distraction. I have this one printed so I can start memorizing key points (the internet is my single biggest distraction…blogs!)
Bright Weavings consists of essays on writing and the writing process.
Lose Your Mind and Release Your Creativity, from Men with Pens.
Writing with a Partner is from Collective Inkwell. It is something I seriously consider every time I’m facing partially completed rough draft. If I can find a similar wavelength and voice out there, I’d try it in a heartbeat!
How NOT to Get Your Novel Published, from Deb at Punctuality Rules is a great (and humorous) reminder.
Pep Talk No. 16 – Welcoming Your Demons is insightful and gave me a lot to think about.
Your Perfection is Not My Perfection should be mandatory reading for all writers. Seriously. Thank you, Lady G.
Getting Back to Me is insightful and personal. I love it and how it relates to writing.
Writing Across Genres from Inkfever got me thinking because I write all genres and have not yet selected a “major.”
Honesty in Writing is the most important challenge of a true writer, I think.
On Friday I’ll link to sites and entries for several writers who truly believe in paying forward and are happy to share their lessons and experience with us. See you then!
I’m glad you enjoyed, “Welcoming Your Demons”. Thank you so much for these other fantastic posts. It’s always great to get a heads up because there is so many new blog entries posted around the world every day it can be hard to find all the great ones.
Lovely linkfest, thanks BJ!
Thanks for the mention and including us among the list of other great posts!
Once again, fantastic list!!! And thanks for the link to me. There are some great links here!
Great links – thank you. I especially like “writing in the age of distraction”. Cory has some excellent advice. I don’t turn on my computer in the mornings until I’m done my hour of writing.
