Miscellany, and a Reminder for Submissions

Posted on by

Just a reminder, April 30 is the deadline to submit a link for my Writer’s Resources Page. I’m treating this as a blog carnival, so I’ll be putting together a post with all the submissions as well as making additions to the Resources Page.

I picked up a good plotting book the other weekend, Plot and Structure by James Bell. I’m about half-way through it, and it gives some good tips on plotting, managing sub-plots, crafting good beginnings, etc. I’ll write up something a little more in-depth once I’ve finished it.

I also picked up a copy of Writing the Breakout Novel, but I haven’t done anything except browse the table of contents.

In the comments, list your favorite writing-related books.

Submissions, please

I’m looking to fill out my Writing Resources page some more, and I’m looking for some submissions. My goal is to put together a really kick-butt listing of online writing resources, so submit your own best work or others’ work that you find really useful.

Please leave a comment on this post with your link and a brief summary of what it covers. Don’t worry if there’s not already a category covering it; as long as it’s writing, publishing, or blogging related, I’m interested.

And while you’re here, don’t forget to subscribe to my RSS feed so you don’t miss any updates.

If you prefer, Direct Message me on twitter with your link. Follow me here. If you follow me, I’ll follow you back.

You can always friend me on StumbleUpon as well. I’ll friend you back, and please feel free to use SU to send me links in the future. When friending me, please mention that you found me through this post so I’ll know who you are.

And please spread the word, the more the merrier!

Edited to Add:

I also posted this as a blog carnival. If you came here via the carnival, then feel free to submit your post that way as well. I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone sends along.

Spiffy new theme

Well, how do you like the new theme?

I got it at themelab as a free download. I have to say it is the most painless install of a wordpress theme I’ve EVER done. I only had to do a couple code edits, and those were very simple.

If you’re looking for a new wordpress theme, check these guys out. They have quite a few nice-looking free ones, and if they’re all this easy to install, even better.

By the way, I ran across them via my twitter feed. Somehow I ended up following themelab on twitter.
