My Adventures in Surfing (31 Unique Searches, Part 4)

Here we go, one more time, I won't stop until I have followers; here we go now.

16. Here is a list of practical and indepth writing tips for any level of writing:

If you are writing your first story, this will help you to keep on track, ensuring you incude the necessities and avoid common mistakes.
If you are an advanced writer, it just may help you find that 'one thing' that you feel is missing.

2. I got pointed in the direction of this site by a friend (Molly Swoboda of http://cartoonwoman .blogspot. com) and found it so helpful that I wanted to share it.

http://editorunleashed.com/2009/01/15/twitter-tips-for-writers-25-good-follows/

It is put together by a former editor-in-chief of Writer's Digest and is a "wonderful resource for all-things writing." It also has a list of 25 people that all writers should follow-I'm talking connections here, so lets get clicking on this link (and don't forget to thank me for passing it on...and Molly...).

3. I had to add this one because I always second guess myself on it; do you underline the title of a magazine? Let's go all the way and find a site that tells us specifically what to quote, what to underline, and what to italicize.

This one is simple and ok, but could use more detail.

This one doesn't go into specifics either, but with the two combined, I think you have it down.

4. Oh, here is an amazing site! 101 best sites for writers, put out by Writer's Digest. This could be completely invaluable!

Make sure you scroll down, that's where the links are.

5. I personally love this site. It is a HUGE list of literary magazines that has links and details on each, including how and when to submit your work to them.

Not so entertaining this time, but I hope you have found it useful nonetheless.
