I’m test-driving a concept for my Thursday posts: a listing of Websites/blog posts that have some useful info for fledgling and fully fledged writers. Let me know what you think in the comments. Also, point out any good sites or blogs I should be visiting to find content.
This week, I’m including main sites. Next week, the focus will be mainly on specific blog posts, though I will include main sites as needed.
Financial Web: http://www.finweb.com
This contains easy-to-understand information useful to anyone beginning a business. It’s been a one-stop shop for me as I have struggled to decide whether to incorporate, whether to have an assumed business name, and whether I need an EIN. (No, yes, no, btw.)
The Incurable Disease of Writing: http://www.missyfrye.net
Missy Frye hosts a nice blog where she shares her own experiences as a writer. The most important posting for me is her weekly Just Write blog carnival, in which she links to some great posts for writers.
What’s a blog carnival, you ask. Visit http://blogcarnival.com/bc/index.php to find out more.
Writing Career Coach: http://www.writingcareercoach.com
Writer Tiffany Colter provides training and a blog on marketing yourself and your writing products that has helped me a lot.
Writer’s Digest Blogs: http://www.writersdigest.com/blogs
The folks at Writer’s Digest host a few blogs that talk about issues from different perspectives.
That’s it for today. Happy reading!
