I have an ever-growing mental list of recommendations to check out. :)<br /><br />Reading writing articles is good, but I try to limit myself to 1 or 2 a day, or even per week. It's hard to read a bunch of them in a row, often given by many different people with many different opinions, styles, and habits, and try to synthesize all that into something that can solve your own problems. There's a lot of great stuff out there, but sorting through it can be overwhelming (at least for me). Have a good week and best wishes for revisions! :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725049899131699912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720082623464094535.post-77569247820760454422014-05-22T05:22:57.154+01:002014-05-22T05:22:57.154+01:00Good luck with the contest!

I hope it goes well for both of us! ^_^<br /><br />I think it's so important that we don't forget about our hobbies. Not only are they fun, but other creative pursuits can really help with our writing, too! I'm so guilty of this. I neglect mine pretty bad most of the time. It's a working process. :)krystal janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02115542477066959046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720082623464094535.post-33113031143537643172014-05-22T05:03:27.642+01:002014-05-22T05:03:27.642+01:00Good luck with the contest!

Honestly, that woman and her guest bloggers have practically taught me to write. I need to start looking into Canadian tax issues surrounding publishing sometime soon. I imagine if I ever publish, I'll face a similar hassle. Have a great week and good luck with that contest!Erin L.

The writing style reminded me of Catcher in the Rye. <br />Those sound like fun hobbies, I wish I could do things like that, but I have zero artistic ability when it comes to drawing and painting. I started learning to play the piano a couple of years ago, but then I had to stop when I moved house and had to leave my piano behind. Hopefully I'll pick it up again in the future :)<br />Good luck with your rewrite! Laura Clipsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748489198957473503noreply@blogger.com
