Regularly Scheduled Programming

While I didn’t gain scads of new followers during the Challenge, I figured I’d do a filler post devote a day to explaining what my blog is about when I’m not doing a month of etymology. See, normally I only do one day a week of etymology. Big difference.

Unlike most bloggers, I post on a Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday blogging schedule because I just have to be different, and you don’t want to be bored just because it’s an off day, do you? Anyway, I use the word ‘anyway’ to segue a lot, and I’m always trying to crack jokes in hopes of making people laugh and feeling less insecure. I also like to post about writing/publishing on Tuesdays, etymology/other word related stuff on Thursday, and something fun on Saturday. Or a rant. Sometimes I rant. You should get used to that.

So that’s what my blog is, and it’s a pretty good representation of who I am, too : ). In general, my posts are a bit longer than this one, especially the etymology ones!, but not so long that you can’t read them during a coffee break. I do this for you. Certainly not because I can’t think of long posts to write. All for you.

Later! Have a nice weekend!

Websites for Writers



Writer’s Digest is a source worthy of its own post. Today I’m just going to focus on a particular part of it. Chuck Sambuchino writes an excellent blog called the Guide to Literary Agentsand…are you checking it out yet?

He’s got a post on almost everything. One article has links to three of his Query Letters That Worked (a recurring feature). Another is a great source if you’re having troubles organizing your story ideas. And crafting a hook! I always need help with that.

There are also articles on new agents, by agents, and by authors on how they got agents. Hey, the blog is called Guide to Literary Agents. What did you expect? And if you want more advice, check out the blogroll. It’s really the best of the best there.

So what do you think? What are your favorite writing websites?
