As I mentioned last week, I now plan to blog on a “first aid” topic on Tuesdays, then give you links to helpful free articles and downloads on Friday. So…
Ready, Set, Read!
Here are four things to add to your treasure chest!
A Writing for Children’s Magazines Ezine is full of up-to-the-minute information about writing for the changing magazine market. Be sure to read the extra articles listed near the bottom of the page, plus bookmark those current market listing links at the bottom.
The Often-Disregarded Advantages of Traditional Publishing has much, much food for thought! Sherryl Clark has had nearly 50 books published, and she speaks from experience here.
The Ultimate Editing Checklist is a free chapter from a new writing book. This chapter is downloadable, and it has a lengthy excellent checklist for what to do after you’ve finished a rough draft.
Last, you will enjoy this 8-minute video by a writing coach talking about The Three Ps of Success.
Read. Listen. Enjoy. Learn.

You’re so welcome, Jane!

Hey, Kristi — have you heard of Jeff Goins? He’s a fellow writer, and has written an eBook that I found really good: my review of “You Are a Writer”. There’s a link to his website in with my review.
Just thought I’d give you the heads-up, in case you hadn’t heard of him, yet!

MizB, thanks for the link! I will definitely check it out. He is a new writer to me. And I’ll send for the ebook. I appreciate the news!
