I love finding blogs that help other
writers, which is why am thrilled to be a guest today at Wise Words. I'm also
slightly jealous of the title of this blog site. It makes me wish I had
something cool to connect my last name to like Louise Wise does. True, I do
have my own blog called Loesch's Muse, but it doesn't roll off the tongue like
Wise Words.
Ah, well. That's life! I'm saddled with a
last name that most people pronounce lush. Hmm…now that I think about it,
sometimes that is a pretty fitting title for me as well…
Anyway, as I was saying, blogs that help
other writers make me do a happy dance that would embarrass Madonna. They make
me feel like I'm learning some secret that no one else knows or often they get
me over the hump on a problem that I've encountered in my writing. Of course, a
few years ago when my writing group decided to start a blog, I thought they
were crazy.
Why would I ever want to write about
writing? I'm too busy…well, writing.
It took a while for me to get into the swing of blogging, and as a group, we were kind of all over the place on topics. But once we got the hang of it, we discovered that our blog could actually do some good, and that's how All Things Writing was born. Each week we strive to write about topics that interest a particular group of special people: writers. The areas covered on the blog include agents/editors, freelance writing, character development, writing prompts, styles of publication, genre definitions, writing conferences, author interviews, and book reviews.
