In a newsletter yesterday, links were given to the eleven best and most popular 2010 articles from WritersDigest.com. They were retweeted on Twitter, e-mailed to friends and shared many times over the Internet. 

While many of us can’t afford to study for a masters degree  in children’s literature, we can all make good use of the free resources on the web.

Here are those eleven articles. They’re “meaty” articles. Read the ones that interest you. You may want to print some of them out and re-read them from time to time. It’s how we learn!

The Eleven Best

1. 17 Writing Secrets
2. Basics of a Solid 3-Paragraph Query
3. Your Novel Blueprint
4. What Agents Hate
5. 8 Basic Writing Blunders
6. Publish Your First Book After 50
7. 9 Questions to Ask Your Main Character
8. The Anatomy of a Writer’s Website
9. 10 Tips for Querying an Agent
10. Finish Your Novel in 4 Simple Steps
11. Steve Berry’s 8 Rules of Writing

This will keep you–and ME–busy for a while. Never stop learning and practicing your craft. One of the nicest by-products of study will be a rise in your confidence as a writer. Yes, writers write–but writers study too. Enjoy it!

   You’re welcome, Karin. I skimmed them, but this weekend I want to go back and thoroughly re-read and print out several of them. Have a good weekend.
