This post was prompted by the following tweet from @stefgunning :
I think @stefgunning has gathered some encouraging quotes to be sure, but I got to thinking about all the great advice I’ve gotten from the blogosphere about writing. Truth is I care more about what my virtual friends say than ‘famous’ people who know nothing about me, my passion or my writing.
So here is some of the best advice that has been given to me on this blog by all of you:
Christine’s advice on researching historical fiction (though there are a 10 other examples of her advice on this site!)MJ’s advice on how to write a villain!Ram’s advice on book events (but honestly, he has so much great advice it was hard to pick just one!)Phantom Writer’s advice on writing a seriesChris’ advice on the best swagAndrew has some advice about writing a secret noteVevacha weighs in on the same topic!Kate Person has some ideas about historical maps
What is the best advice you’ve ever been given about writing?
Angela, you were the first person to follow my blog (2+ years ago), and since then, I’ve learned from you, so I’m pleased to know I’ve been able to return the favor. I’m looking forward to following Portia again, soon!
I was just going through Rayne Hall’s Pinterest board, For Writers. There are some great pins on there with little snippets of writing advice 🙂
Nice – checking it out now Karen!
I’m glad you find my advice so helpful.
I do Rami, it’s why I ask you for advice!
