Writers' Blogs
Chronicling the Novel... by Adrian Swift (It's been interesting to follow along as Adrian completed the first draft of his novel, now he's moved on to writing his second which he has almost completed and will soon be going back to edit and revise his first novel. His determination is inspiring.)
Pocket Full of Words by Holly Lisle (There's a link to her website in the upper left hand corner of her blog. Be sure to check it out as she has pages and pages of articles to help you improve your writing.)
Romancing Paradise by Lynn Raye Harris (Lynn has recently moved from Hawaii to Alabama and is posting less frequently but still worth checking)
Static by Anne Frasier, bestselling author of Hush, Sleep Tight, Play Dead, and Before I Wake and her most recent release Pale Immortal.
Backstory by M.J. Rose and Jessica Keener -- Where authors share the secrets, the truths, or just the illogical moments that sparked their fiction.
Authors Blogs has a long list of writers' blogs. You'll even find mine, but you'll have to scroll way, way down on the page since they are ordered alphabetically by first name rather than last. And here I thought when I married a Flemming I wouldn't have to be an the end of the line anymore.
