"Writing Advice & Tips List"

Writing advice is everywhere. Everyone has his/her own opinions. You really have to pick through it all and figure out what will work best for you and ignore what doesn't. Just remember with every bit of advice there is always going to be someone who disagrees. When I asked what visitors here would like to read on websites, someone mentioned writing advice and tips. With that said, I went through my blog archives and pasted in links that may be of some interest to writers, and I will also add a link to my website with the next update.

I'm the first to admit, I don't have the best advice around, but I have my opinions. So for what it's worth, they are now in an accessible place. A lot of it is on the inspirational side, and some of the tips are what I picked up from experienced author and bloggers. (And yes, it seems I'm in some sort of organization mode. ;D) Anyway, I hope the list can be helpful to someone.

Thanks for putting them together. Now write something for me about getting a second wind. I think I've waited long enough for a response from the two agents who are reading - I'm about to start querying again.

I've considered doing what you've done, and organizing my blog, particularly since my blog-time has shrunk. I think my best stuff was written months ago, and I know my most loyal readers are the ones who find me when I'm talking about the process.

Mark, it's tough to write with the busy schedule you have. You write great posts, and I enjoy reading your blog not just for the writing process. =D

I would definitely start querying a few more agents. It's a long process, this agent search.

Thanks, Kacey! Glad you liked them. =D
