It’s a short list this week – I guess I didn’t have much
time for reading blog posts.
First
up, a guest post on Janice Hardy’s blog.
This is a snapshot of how one author works from initial idea to
completed project. I’m always interested
in such things because I’m still trying to figure out my own process, and I
often find things I can use. Also, it’s
nice for an unpublished writer, such as myself, to see a little bit about how
the publishing process works.
Scrivener
is my new favorite writing tool, and I don’t even use half the bells and
whistles it offers, so I’m always looking for more tips. Here’s an article on how one writer uses the
cork board feature. I used the corkboard
in a similar way for my NaNoWriMo project in November and it’s really pretty
nifty.
A post
on character development by a fellow ROWer.
This post speaks to me because I’m in the middle of trying to make the characters
in my own WIP less cardboard. As a
bonus, she links to 3 other cool posts with ways to make your characters
pop. It’s kind of like a 4-for-1.
This
post marks the one year anniversary of Creative Writing with the Crimson
League. Here, the author reflects on
what she’s learned over a year of blogging, and offers helpful advice for new
bloggers – like me. I’m pondering what
to do with my blog besides posting my ROW check-ins and these link round-ups,
so I turn to posts like these for a little help.

Another
Scrivener post, though this isn’t a tip about one particular aspect of
Scrivener. This is actually a link to a
downloadable manual – which I’ll totally be checking out so I can learn to make
the most of my new favorite toy. I’ve
been using Scrivener for around two years, but I still have a lot to learn
about the program and how to make it work the best for my writing process.
That’s all folks!
Note: this is a
list of blog posts and articles on writing that I collect weekly. Inclusion on this list does not necessarily
mean it was published this week, just that I read it this week and thought it
was cool, interesting, and/or useful.
