Writer Unboxed

Surfing the best of the writers’ blogs so you don’t have to.

I’ve rounded 6,000 words this first week of NaNo, which is pretty good considering I couldn’t work on my WIP this weekend. So I’m jiggifying in celebration. Here’s Emo giving his best impression of me after two hours of hard work:

Blogs are quiet this week due to NaNo-ing and the American election, but a few tidbits are to be had.

In case you missed it on Halloween, Cobwebs of the Mind gave WU a favorable blog review that brought us some new visitors and a nice injection of warm fuzzies. You may read the review HERE . . . . Absolute Write is changing hands, but we’re sure this valuable resource will be left in good ones . . . . Victoria and A.C. repost the classic “Lies Scammers Tell about Us” . . . . the writing war between Nienke and Melly is going smashingly well . . . . . checking in with Bookdwarf, who has read a lot more in a few months than I read all year . . . . found another amusing blog, Weekend Stubble, worth a visit for its mildly deranged humor . . . . everyone loves a good mystery, and the identity of hot new author Lucy Jackson remains cloaked. Who’s going to be the first to out this “well-reviewed literary author who wants to do more commercial work”? . . . . GalleyCat muses about the death of the celebrity book trend . . . . NaNo gears stuck? Check out this writing prompt from WriteOn Right Now . . . .

And finally, the new writers’ horoscopes are up at Publisher’s Marketplace, complete with retrograding Mercury and so forth.

Write on.
