Click Here! Writers’ Helpers Edition

By

Photobucket - Video and Image HostingThere’s Kath–riding her pony back from her beachly travels. She’ll be back tomorrow, and I can honestly say I have a brand new appreciation for having a partner on this site. Buddies/ partners/ helpers are great, and so this week’s Click Here is all about helper sites on the ‘net. Enjoy!

First of all, a MEME for WU: We’ve been added to the Preditors and Editors site as a RECOMMENDED visit for serious writers. How cool is that? So now I have some authority when I say, Writer Unboxed should be your first stop when you’re looking for a helper site (I know, I know–I’m preaching to the choir).

Kathleen goes to the beach, Therese goes to a soggy Washington, D.C. Where’s the justice? I guess I’m in the wrong city for that…sorry, couldn’t resist!

After eight billion-and-a-half years of working toward my master’s degree in psychology, today I am turning in my thesis paper.

Click Here! Smarty Pants Edition

This Friday, we’ll post the first part of an empowering interview with Writer Beware’s Victoria Strauss.

Which is why I’ve decided to post a few downloadable programs to make your writing life […]

Click Here! Kryptonite Edition

Ah, Mondays. They can be as draining as a pocketful of kryptonite to our super-creative powers. But easy as a flinging on a cape, you can transform this most evil weekday into a productive workday.

Click Here! Sugar-Free Edition

My mother-in-law hosted a sugar fest for Mother’s Day, and I’ve just barely emerged from my coma. Because the focus is still shaky, today you’re getting a smattering of unrelated (but hopefully still useful) offerings. Check out a good article on Ten Mistakes Writers don’t See at Holt Uncensored. The Word Detective waves his magnifying […]
