Today I’m a guest over at Tracey H. Kitts’ blog, and I’m talking about leopards and Middlemarch.
Literary agent, Nathan Bransford has a good post about plotting and how to decide if your story has a plot.
Author, Joanna Bourne has a useful post, with examples, about how to avoid some of the common writing mistakes. (scroll down past the excerpt)
Agent, Lucienne Diver has a post about dos and don’ts when writing a query letter. I shook my head while reading this one. I can’t believe people actually do some of these things.
Agent, Rachelle Gardner has a post about how long is your book. These days publishers and agents consider the length of a book because of cost considerations.
And finally, here’s a fun site with some time-waster games. It’s called Addicting Games, so be warned!
If you have any excellent posts to add to my list, post them in the comments section.
