Day #7: Link Post-5 Great Writing Blogs
August 11th 2009 22:28
Continuing along, plodding as slowly as I am, I am now on the seventh excersize in 31 Days To A Better Blog. The ones that have been going on behind the scenes have been reading exercises and I've found some great reading along the way. I'm happy with the way this is going so far.
So I'm going to link to five great blogs for writers, and tell you exactly why they are great blogs for writers. They aren't in any particular order of awesomeness, it's just in the order I thought of them.
1. Writer's Notes by Jeanne Dininni is a great blog for writers full of resources, articles, and even a few author interviews. It isn't updated as regularly as some but the archives are great. It's my own personal favourite writing blog-other than this one of course-on Orble.
I also must say that Jeanne has been great to me since I started my own blog. She has been one of the bloggers here that has, to an extent, mentored me. She commented on the right posts at the right times, just when I was starting to get frustrated that not enough people comment around here.
2. Pubrants by Kristin Nelson, a self-described very nice literary agent. It's her polite ranting about the publishing industry. Not only, from what I can see, does it show that she's a great agent for anyone who writes in one of her many genres, but it gives an insider's point of view in the world of publication.
I've been reading Pubrants for years now and it has never failed to impress me or to make me smile. Kristin has a great sense of humour and is incredibly honest. Her advice is useful, to be sure, and she writes well.
Note: this is a really great recent post Writing As Business Part 2 I'm too lazy at the moment to dig up part one though.
3. The Muffin this blog is specifically for anything related to female writers. It includes interviews with female writers, articles, random updates, and a variety of useful info. It's also attached to a great Ezine, Women On Writing or WoW where you can find a variety of articles by various writers including Hope Clark, the woman who runs Funds For Writers.
4. Freelancing&Fiction this blog has recently moved onto a domain from blogspot, which is excellent. It's full of resources and articles for the freelance writer. The woman who writes it, Michy, also runs an excellent forum for writers which you can find linked to on the blog.
I've only been reading this one for a short period of time but I quite like it, and the new site and layout are amazing. Love!
5. Skelliewag A great blog which I discovered yesterday thanks to this 31 Days exercise. It's mostly for freelancers and bloggers and is full of useful information about building a successful blog and freelance career. I will be doing more wandering and likely come up with a more comprehensive review of this blog sometime next week.
