Good Links: January Edition/New Blogs Edition
Posted on February 1st, 2010 14 commentsHi. Well, there goes January, eh? Spring is on the horizon, groundhogs rearing their funny shaped heads, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, whatever. Pull me out of my cave when the sun starts shining again.
As it turns out, I didn’t end up with a ton of good links for January. However, a nice handful of AQers (Agent Query members–writers) started blogs in January (or a month or two previous to that), so instead of sharing writing links this month, I will honour these brand new bloggers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kid’s Book Junky by Charlie Eve. This kids book review and news blog is not yet one month old, but will quickly become a resource for kid lit writers seeking industry news, as well as mothers seeking a good book for their youngsters.
Layinda’s Blog. This is another developing blog that is under a month old. Layinda discusses writing, contests and everything writing.
The Forever Blog by Shawna. Inspiration, motivation, technical aspects of writing and much more.
Random Thoughts to String Together by Lisa Gibson. The name expresses it all as writer Lisa pulls random writerly thoughts together as blog fodder.
Writer/lawyer Pete Morin’s blog. The man shares what is on his mind. Burst pipes, writing and the law, short stories, and more.
RS Mellette’s Dances with Blogs. A handy blog for filmmakers (and that includes screenwriters) who are wondering what recently submitted trends might be as well as more information on the Dances With Films Festival.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There you have it. Six young blogs worth checking out. As well, you will find more great writing blogs on my blogroll to the right.
Thank you everyone!

I think I’ve added everyone– except RS. I just saw his post today, so I’ll add him, too. I love the variety of blogs we have here. Fellow AQ’ers are doing well, huh?

Jemi,
There have been quite a few in the past month. I’m impressed. I’m also impressed with your blog, Jemi. You’ve done so much in the past 6 months and have a very active following–it’s all you, girl!
If you haven’t checked out Jemi’s blog, you’re missing out. She’s in my blogroll to the right.

Hi TK,
The variety is great. There are so many different ways to approach writing and blogging.
AQers rock!

Hey. I don’t normally leave comments, but I just wanted to say thanks for the great information. I have a blog too, though
I don’t write as good as you do, but if you want to check it out here it is. Thanks again and have a great day! -
Hey, critique.
The theme was free through WordPress. The banner, I created myself. I plan to make some changes with all of it soon… it’s just finding the time!

Thanks, Samuel.
Just keep writing and over time you will improve–and read lots too!

Thanks for the mention, Jean! I’ve finally figured out how to add people to my blog roll, and you’re on mine, now, too.
