Around the Blogosphere: A Host of Helpful Posts for Writers
September 4th 2008 00:46
A Virtual Trip Around the Blogosphere
I've found so much fantastic content around the blogosphere lately, that I thought I'd compile a list of links to share with you--links to content that will help you in a multitude of ways. So, just in case you've missed one or more of the following posts, here's your chance to check them out. I know I've listed quite a few, but that will only increase your opportunity for finding a topic that will address an interest, need, or concern you're facing now.
So, sit back and browse this excellent list, which I've divided into three different categories, based on general post type. You might even decide to bookmark this post so you can return later to visit the posts you don't have enough time to read now.

You're a busy little beaver aren't you! It's been a busy day and very productive. I'm proud but pooped. So, I'm taking your suggestion and bookmarking this page for later (read as tomorrow, bright and early).
Have a good night and thanks for the list.

The pleasure's all mine! Figured it was time to remind my readers of all the great content--and great blogs--out there!
My week's been going well, but as you say, it's also been flying by!
Thanks for stopping by!

What a great list of links! I notice you include entries from some of my favorite blogs.
Thanks for including my link!

Writer's Notes
Glad to include you! I think yours is a very helpful piece on a very important topic. Every blog needs a healthy dose of cornerstone content, and many articles (i.e., those that aren't intentionally "newsy") also need that "evergreen" quality!
Thanks for the visit!

It did take a bit of time to assemble the links to these posts, but it was certainly time well-spent--just as reading them will be! There's a wealth of wisdom buried in the above posts--wisdom that's just waiting to be dug up and put to good use!
Hadn't given any thought at all to my timing on posting these two round-ups; but now that you mention it, right before the weekend is probably the best time I could have chosen! It will give everyone a little extra time to catch up on the posts they'd like to read but might not have had time for during the week! (I'll have to consider doing that intentionally next time!)
Thanks for pointing that out!

I'm also one of the loyal fans of Joanna blog's and I love her unique and provoking writing style...
By the way, have you drop Lillie's blog a visit recently? Do you know that you've nominated as one of the top contributors for August?

Writer's Notes
Joanna's blog is always well-written and informative and her topics always fascinating. I can certainly see why you're a loyal fan!
Yes, I did know about Lillie's August comments post, but I still appreciate your bringing it up. There's always lots to talk about at Lillie's blog, and she's very responsive to comments, posting very engaging replies--which always makes it fun and interesting to comment there. Another reason I'm a top contributor is that Lillie and I often like to see how long we can keep a comment thread going! We've turned it into a bit of a game!
Thanks for the visit!
