5 Bone-Chilling Writing Tips from Alfred Hitchcock
Pro Writing Aid
As Plain As the Nose on Your Face by Julie Daines for Utah Children's Writers 30 Days 30 Stories series. Julie took clichés to the next level.
The first one was very interesting. I think that's the first time I've read something that was so completely pro-self and anti-traditional.
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting, including the comment replies.
DeleteWow, that first link was an eye-opener.
ReplyDeleteI try to find posts that both praise and demean self-publishing and traditional publishing. I find that reading the extremes on both sides helps me find a more accurate balance.
DeleteOh yeah, rumpology was hilarious. The ones on self-publishing and sequels were my faves. Also checked out tips from Hitchcock. Great surfing today Jeff and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThere were some good ones out there this time.
DeleteThanks for this, Jeff. And the others (well, the ones I've linked to so far) have been great.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure as always.
DeleteThe pro aid thing looks interesting, will give it a try.

Yeah, I tried it with some of my sections with interesting results.
DeleteThe Rumpology one was funny.
ReplyDeleteElise outdid herself with that.
DeleteI had seen the Rumpology one before. I have a friend who went with a small publisher some time ago. She has since been posting messages against them on Facebook and has had her book handled by another house and is doing quite well with it.
ReplyDeleteJO ON FOOD, MY TRAVELS AND A SCENT OF CHOCOLATE
It usually boils down to finding the right agent, right publisher and right publishing avenue.
DeleteRumpology got me! I can't stop laughing. Great recommendation Jeff.
ReplyDeleteThat and "As Plain As the Nose on Your Face" both cracked me up.
DeleteGreat lists as always-- Mike's article (on op-eds) was excellent.
ReplyDeleteHe did a fantastic job with it. Definitely work linking.
DeleteAs always, great links...thanks :)
ReplyDeleteYou're quite welcome, Mark.
DeleteLoving today's links! The advice from the "Alfred Hitchcock" one was especially inspiring. :)
ReplyDeleteAdvice from the greats is always worth reading. :)
DeleteGreat links, Jeff. I particularly liked the Hitchcock and self-publishing ones. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I do try to find a decent variety each week. Time can be an unforgiving adversary though.
DeleteThese were excellent. I read them in bed, then couldn't sleep because my brain was too busy.
ReplyDeleteThanks, JoLynne. Good reading always does that. :)
DeleteGreat collection, as usual ... must not google rumpology, must not google rump...
ReplyDeleteLOL Always Google with care. :-)
DeleteWill have to check these out! (great...now I know what I'm doing with my afternoon...agh, and I need to write- thanks )
ReplyDeleteI hope you find the reads worth it.
DeleteThe Pro Writing Aid says I rock, hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteYou didn't need Pro Writing Aid to tell you that. Telling you that is my job!
DeleteYes, yes, along with reminding me that it is time to get some interrupted work done. Challenge is over and the time to finish stories has come. :)
DeleteActually, I was going to wait until tomorrow to remind you of the interrupted work. LOL
