It’s been an up and down week for me, and all I can say is THANK GOD for my fellow writers and critique partners. So for them, here you go:
Here are some of my favorite writing-related tweets from the past week. Hope you find them useful.
- One of the ways readers connect with characters on a deeper level is when the writer can convey the world through the character’s eyes. Check out tips here from Live Write Thrive’s C.S. Lakin (@CSLakin). [via @EricStoffle]
- I never thought of my smartphone as a device to help my writing process. This post from Joel Friedlander (@JFBookman) proved me wrong: 10 Ways Free iPhone Apps Supercharge Writers.
- Daily Writing Tips (@writing_tips) provided 10 Tacky Terms that might make your readers imagine something they would rather not think about. [via @Grammarly]
- This is an awesome list. It’s PR Daily’s 20 (more) signs you’re a word nerd from Steve Vittorioso (@savittorioso). These include “You know that Chicago style doesn’t refer to deep-dish pizza,” and “Excessive exclamation points drive you to drink.” Ha! [via @KatheStanton]
- Writer Jennifer Jensen (@JenJensen2) shares her inspiring experience in Can a Writer’s Blog Really Help You Get an Agent? Hey, it worked for her.
- Advice to Writers (@AdviceToWriters) posted this list of 10 Writing Mistakes. Very descriptive explanations of things like empty adverbs, flat writing, and no-good suffixes. Great post. [via @MKAlexander1]
- Do you write suspense? The Kill Zone’s Clare Langley-Hawthorne offered thoughts on why you might not want to start your novel inside the villian’s POV. [via @JamesScottBell]
- If you’re a romance fan (and really, who isn’t?), check out this list of RomanceNovels.me’s Top 1,000 Best Romance Novels. It took them four years to finalize the list. Now that is serious dedication! I was surprised how many of the top 25 I hadn’t read. More for the TBR pile…. [via @ElizabethSCraig]
Have a great weekend!
