“So You Want To Be A Writer?”

Me too!  Writing is so exciting.  There is something new every day, every minute of every day.  It feels like Christmas all the time.  Tis the season.  That’s what came to mind first.

I have a list of blogs and websites in my reader that feature a different variety of writers and resources.  I always try to improve my skills and learn as much as I can.  Continually learning is one of my favorite parts of writing.  I would like to share my rare finds of enormous talent with a few links. There are countless types of writing forms to choose from.   What type of writer do you strive to become?

I like to dabble in creative writing and fiction.

I entered a contest at - Writing for your wealth recently. Unlike most contests in the blogosphere, this contest was actually based on what you write.  Most contests are the luck of the draw.  You actually had to think when you wrote this one.  Lindsay asked the contestants to write a fable in 300 words or less.  This project stimulated our creativity!  I wrote – The Wise Sheep. The biggest challenge I faced with this writing project was keeping my story under 300 words!    Some say it’s because I talk too much.  Hmmph.  How rude!

Lindsay teaches you how to write for your wealth.   I can certainly say she is a wealth of knowledge and I highly recommend any aspiring writer to subscribe to her RSS feed.  In fact, when you subscribe to her RSS feed you will receive a free 7 day writing e-course.   Always room to learn.

I want to be confident with my writing skills.

Joanna Young writes just such a blog. She is helpful and knowledgeable and without exception has all the tools I am looking for.   Joanna has, not one, but three Free e-Books on her site to help you with your writing.  If you are serious about your writing, you should download these e-Books and while you are there, subscribe to her RSS feed.

The mission statement of “Confident Writing” says it all:

• learning to improve your writing – for greater impact, and to make a stronger connection
• finding your voice – writing that is authentic, that expresses your values, that comes from the heart
• giving you confidence – in your skill as a writer, in your right to express yourself, in the power of your own words
• sharing resources that will help you to write with skill, style, and confidence
• building a community of people who support these goals – and share the belief that our words count

I want to entertain and be entertained while writing and learning.

Speaking of writing and learning and total entertainment – check out TumbleMoose Productions. This blogger is unique. He is creative, talented and knowledgeable, not to mention somewhat on the humorous side. George Angus has quite a background in writing. I consider him an authority and if George says it, it must be true. And somewhere in the midst of it all he manages to add some humor and wit.  I was honored that George wrote a Guest Post for BloggerNewbie.com and welcome him back anytime.

If you are serious about your writing and want to gain some new insight, check out these three blogs.  They are an endless supply of information as well as a source for some much needed inspiration.

What do you do to expand your awareness?  Do you have some helpful links that you refer to while you are writing?  What inspires you?

Toodles – Blog Happy!
