Writing resources

As I immerse myself in my own writing , I have sought out resources to help me develop my craft. I thought I’d share with you some of my finds.

A few months ago I told you about Sue Healy’s blog called Craft Tips for Writers.  I like her writing and find her blog entries useful and entertaining. She muses about writing in a thoughtful manner.

Live, Write, Thrive is another blog that I’m enjoying more each day. The author, C.S. Lakin, provides some wonderful grammar advice, discussions on the shape of a book (eg. she’s taken quite a lot of time on the first page and the first sentence) and poses challenging questions to the group. I look forward to receiving her postings each day.

I just joined The Creative Penn: Helping you write, publish and sell your book. It’s early days, but when I turned to it yesterday, the first page I saw was an excellent posting on writing memoirs. Her blog is on the top 10 list of blogs for writers.

I’ve also joined a group moderated by Janet Reid, Literary Agent. This is an entertaining blog that is packed with information on writing and publishing.

I know there are many more excellent resources out there. Feel free to share yours.
