Some Sunday Writing Blog Links

I don’t know where the phrase, link love, came from, but I don’t like it much, even when the bloggers using it link to me. None the less, the idea behind it is one I like, so here are a few writing blog links for you:

Meryl’s Notes Blog - you never know quite what you’ll […]

Blogging to Death?

Thanks to Jennifer Hoffman who pointed out a NY Times article called: In Web World of 24/7 Stress, Writers Blog Till They Drop.
Part of the story involves a couple of tech bloggers who may have died because they were so focused on their blogs they forgot to eat, exercise or otherwise take any sort of […]

Two Guys and a Blog

Stumbled onto (into… what’s proper when speaking of a blog or a web page?) a blog called Men With Pens. Nifty blog about writing and life in general. There are sections on fiction writing, running a writing or other business, blogging, design and one called “Way off Topic.”
I particularly liked Are You Charging What You’re […]

I’m Such a Weather Wuss!

If you’ve followed this blog for any length of time, you’re probably at least vaguely aware I live in San Diego. Well, now that I’ve moved, I live in a town called National City, but it adjoins San Diego so it’s almost the same thing. Not only do I live in sublime weather now, I […]

We All Need Editors!

The nature of blogging is it’s off the cuff. This blog, like many others, even most, doesn’t have a copy editor that checks for mistakes and typos before it’s published.
Now, anyone who knows me knows I’m not a copy editor! My spelling is creative at best. Of course, computers catch many errors, but not all […]

Better Than Free?

Thanks to Joe Wikert and his pointer to Kevin Kelly’s post called Better Than Free. For those of you who don’t know, Kelly has been a leader in all things ‘net for years. I first knew of him through The Well, the original online community when he was also associated with Stewart Brand’s Whole Earth […]

Writing for Wikipedia - an Editor’s Insights

Wikipedia is a relatively new phenomena, and it can be a wonderful resource on an amazing number of topics.
Part of the draw of the Wiki is that, in theory, they are editable by the masses. The idea is to create truly collaborative work. Many, including me, find figuring editing anything but straight forward.

This Writer’s Moving!

After four + years in a tiny studio, MzTiz and I are moving. We’ll miss the garden here, but we have not only our own wee garden to the small two bedroom we’re moving to, but, since we will be part of a community, will have big gardens as well.
I’m, of course, in a bit […]

What? Don’t Edit Your First Draft???

Eric, over at Common Sense PR stopped me cold with this headline: Don’t Edit your First Draft
You can imagine what I thought, can’t you? I was wrong!
Go on over and read the post, then come back and tell me how many people you know who can’t get passed the first chapter, or even the first […]
