Brilliant website #1

Occasionally I’ll highlight a webpage or website I think is particularly useful to writers. I have a collection of those on my blogroll, but today I want to spotlight the Submissions page on the Preditors and Editors website. This page has everything you need to know about querying, submitting, keeping track of submissions and contract issues. It’s a great resource for new writers and nice brush-up info for experienced writers. I suggest taking a visit and bookmarking the sight for future reference.

Happy Writing,

 This Christmas I got a really cool book, The Writer’s Book of Matches: 1,001 Prompts to Ignite Your Fiction. It’s compiled by the staff of Fresh Boiled Peanuts (www.freshboiledpeanuts.com). I’ve only read through a couple of pages and I’m already inspired. Here are a couple of prompts to get you going when writer’s block sets in.

“Stop thinking about how much you love him and start thinking about how much he hurts you.”

Upon reading the contents of his teenage daughter’s diary, a man is left fearing for his life.

“In all my time as a doctor, I’ve never seen this before. I’m at a loss.”  

Happy Writing,
