Writing Tips

Once again, I thought I’d share some writing tips that I’ve found this week:

Writer’s Digest produces a great weekly recap of the best tips for writers that show up on Twitter. Love it!

I stumbled on a good article two days ago with tips for writing a great short story. We can all use a refresher on the basics.

Now this link is just for fun.  How many of these excuses have you used to avoid writing?  Anything sound familiar?  I think I’ve even used “the cat needs a bath” as an excuse once or twice…

Hey, we can always use tips from the slushpile, right? Here is a great article from an Associate Literary Agent that you may find interesting.

Want a FREE e-book on the art of writing fiction for profit? Check out Mugging the Muse by Holly Lisle. She knows what she’s talking about. She’s published an extensive list of science fiction/fantasy novels as well as a few contemporary suspense novels.

I just wanted to do a quick shout out: Happy Mother’s Day to all you ladies out there who do such a great job raising your children. Being a parent is the most difficult job anyone will ever do.  Thank you for your dedication to raising the next generation of amazing people. *applause*
