We all need a little help, sometimes a lot

This blog is about not going it alone. And how many great people with great ideas are available and ready to help. First up, blogs. Writers love to write and so many of them blog. So what? So the blogs (and I'll mention a few to get you started) are great free classes in writing for the beginning writer.

Here's the first two, because both have great posts up today specifically about free, great help and support for writers:

First Erica on her blog Erica Writes has a great post on storyboarding. Erica does a great job of explaining and illustrating with her own storyboard this useful writer's tool.

Second, Kathy on her blog Well Placed Words posts about writers' critique groups, another valuable tool in the writer's box.

More on the great blogging world later.

Do you have a beloved blog or two or twenty? Care to share?

Hint: Blogging is a world so remember, it's an adjunct to writing, a fun one, but not the writing itself.

If you don't mind going outside your genre...and that's why I am on your blog!...check out http://www.poetryfoundation.org/
I find that turning to different art forms recharges me.

Great idea anonymous, wish I'd thought to mention it!

Thanks, Conda. I turn to you for creative and emotional boosts. Now back to writing, following your hint.

Ah, Kathy, there are times when I read blogs and write entries in my blog, instead of taking my own advice. Back to writing for me, too.
