Pay It Forward Blogfest





I just found this this morning, and I'm so glad I did.

Thanks to Matthew and Alex, we get a chance to give a shout out to three of our favorite blogs. Then we go around to visit others.



First off, for any YA fans/writers, I'd like to recommend YA Confidential where teen spies and YA authors explore the teen YA perspective. Great angle and theme...informative and entertaining.


For any writer, especially those struggling with plot holes you could swim in and arcs with wacky trajectories *raises hand on that one*, I recommend Laura Pauling. She also shares some well-balanced opinions on the confusing (and changing) world of publishing and happens to be a critique partner of mine.


Finally, I'd like to mention Fairy Tales and Cappuccino. The name and tranquil picture of her personal writing corner in the heading says it all. No bells and whistles, which is part of what I like about it. Just a writer sharing her journey in a relaxed and personal way.


What about you? Any favorite blogs to share?

    I'm really enjoying YA Confidential! Their teen spies are helpful (as a person who, sadly, doesn't get to interact with teens on a regular basis).

    Thanks for this list of helpful links. It's not a blog but one of my daily visits is to Verla Kay's Blue Boards Forums. There is a great community of writers who share everything in the writing process: good news, bad news, critiques, you name it.

    Jennifer, thanks so much for taking part!

    Also, I somehow wasn't following your blog yet, but I am now, which means the fest is doing its job!
