Thursday Bram – Thursday Bram – Lots of blogs discuss writing, Thursday’s blog gets down to the logistics of writing for a living, nitty gritty included. Meryl K. Evans – Meryl.net – With a strong tech background, Meryl’s understanding of how to write both accurately and engagingly for new media makes her blog an invaluable resource. Amanda Hocking – Amanda Hocking’s Blog – If you haven’t heard of Amanda Hocking, and you’re into writing, then you’re missing out. She writes what are deemed “paranormal romance young-adult fiction” stories, and her creative writing style and alternative distribution have helped build her formidable career WITHOUT a publishing deal. You’ll appreciate her fortitude and keep coming back for the fiction. Debbie Ridpath Ohi – Inkygirl – Debbie is both a writer and an illustrator, which explains why her blog works so well – she can catch your eye and keep your attention. As a writer herself, she’s able to offer insight and industry-specific help, like compiling a list of literary folks on Google+, for example. Useful and unique, this is a necessary daily read for writers. Colleen Wainwright – The Communicatrix – The thing that I love about Colleen, aside from her wry and sailor-y writing style, is her consistency. She blogs with commitment, and as a writer teaching others the craft, that means something. Her lessons from the pulpit are actionable and fun, and I hope to someday practice exactly what she preaches. Denise Shekerjian – Soul of a Word – Denise is the author of a book called Uncommon Genius, which is all about how great ideas are born, and her blog builds on that concept. But it’s not a clinical study into what sparks ideas that turn into words – while she has actionable suggestions, much of her writing is as honest and lyrical as you’d strive to be after taking her well-researched advice.
