Surfing the best of the writers’ blogs so you don’t have to.
We’re all NaNo all the time here at WU. Whatever it takes to get the book done, right?
Here’s a little inspiration: the names of the National Book Award finalists. A graphic novel made the list for the first time, which is sorta exciting. MJ Rose offers his perspectives on national writer’s awards.
Agent X is back from vacation and blogging again . . . . Allison Brennan offers some good advice on writing flashbacks . . . . Burning Void reviews Novelist’s Boot Camp. Therese is currently road-testing this method as well, and we’ll keep you posted on how effective it is . . . . Ray, as always, shows us the way. This time it’s on effective openings . . . . over at Quantum, Eric, a NaNo veteran, blogs about creative constraints and how they will help your work.
My apologies to the Blogspot blogs, but Blogger seems to be down right now. I’ll try to do an update when it comes online again. Until then, write on.

You have succeeded again in your secret ploy to be the only site in my trackbacks! ;)
Good catch on that review of Novelist’s Boot Camp… was thinking about checking that one out.
Oh, BTW I picked up Hauge’s Sell Your Story in 60 Seconds… thanks to you guys.

Saved in the nick of time
I’m underslept (it’s 2 am and I’m awake because post-nasal drip nearly drowned me in my sleep), my head is pounding for no good reason, and I’ve been cranky all week (also for no good reason). But writer unboxed has saved you from having to endure …

Heh, Eric, our fiendish plan is beginning to come to fruition (bwahahahaaa).
You won’t be sorry about picking up Hauge. After reading it, Therese distilled my WIP in one ironic line. She found it buried in my MS!!!!! Nothing like fresh eyes, my friends . . . .
