Today's love goes to: Holly Lisle's Weekly Writing Tips Newsletter

I subscribed to Holly's weekly email on writing tips a year ago. The tips have been fabulous. Holly's style is not for the faint at heart--she tells it like it is, but I highly recommend them for fiction writers. So, if you want to learn some awesome writing tips, sign up. It's like getting free mini-classes!



Here are examples of some of the email topics she's covered in the past:



*Ask how.
*Why write fiction.
*Learn more words.
*Know yourself.
*Read fiction.
*Make your description matter.
*Plot loosely.
*Don't breed characters.
*Be an actor.
*Give your hero the best lines.

Today's love goes to: Clare B. Dunkle, Author for sharing her insights about agents, about publishers, and about editors.


I just finished reading Clare's MG sci-fi book The Sky Inside. I really enjoyed it, so I looked Clare up on the web and found these three great posts for writers.

I'm reading a great book on Character Development right now called Bullies Bastards & Bitches: How to write the bad guys of fiction. I looked up the author, Jessica Page Morrell, and found her blog, which I am sharing today. Ms. Morrell posts several times a week on characters and writing. Hope you enjoy it!
