Writing Blogs That Are about More Than Just The Writing
Back on the 9th of January, I published a post called Fuel for Writers.

It had 11 sites that could supply an endless number of writing prompts…
But, what about once you’re in the heat of the writing or when you’re preparing to publish or needing to promote?
One place to visit would be Publishing … and Other Forms of Insanity…
Here are just a few categories of their helpful resources:
Self-Publishing
Calls for Submissions
Paying Markets
Publishers Accepting Unagented Manuscripts
Agents Seeking Clients
There’s lots more to explore over on Publishing … and Other Forms of Insanity :-)
And, if you haven’t yet got the heat turned up on the writing part (and, for help with sundry other writerly topics…), from The Writers’ Academy site, these 15 Top Creative Writing Blogs That Are Actually Helpful (Do visit <—That Link for their commentary on these sites):
Grammarly
Copyblogger ***
The Creative Penn
Goins, Writer ***
Terrible Minds
Jane Friedman ***
Daily Writing Tips
Helping Writers Become Authors
The Writers’ Academy
The Write Life ***

The Book Designer ***

Lauren Sapala
The sites with *** after the name are ones that I find particularly valuable…
And, a Wonderful Bonus Site that anyone associated with any phase of writing should explore (even if you’re not writing a novel…):
