Just incase you don’t follow all the links on this blog, I want to share with the readers several articles that I came upon this morning, topics that I thought would be of interest to the beginning writer, and the not so beginning.

You often wonder, why you don’t receive a comment back on your work and she explains in her article why she doesn’t always resond, Rachelle says, “The first and most important reason is because I could be wrong.” I couldn’t imagine an agent ever being wrong, but read her article, she’s straight forward and honest. She gives some wonderful advice and several interesting links.

Another good topic I came upon titled, “The Three-Act Structureby Kathleen Bolton” of Writer Unboxed she gives a in-depth explanation of plot, in a three act structure form. She list several links to outlines by Peder Hill on Structure and Plot, as well as Holly Lisle tips.

I visited all three sites. I even downloaded a free plot structure guide from Lisle to see what her ideas are. "Learn the Elements of a Novel" is a fantastic resource. I was surfing over there a couple days ago.Right now, I've printed out the "Three Act Structure" and put it in a folder with some other notes about that element.

Good going, Joan. Your blog is always worth visiting.

So far I've got a basic page up for a blog. Come and visit if you have time, I'm at www.ravenlaw.wordpress.com

I hope it's okay. I've already put a link up to your blog. I mean, you've done all this work. You should get more readers who appreciate it. I think it's just a matter of exposure

About Me

I belong to this fantastic writer’s group called Sweet Hearts of the Rodeo and the group can be found at Writers University, which I have been a lifelong member since the late 90’s.
This is an intense study group that involves the reading and discussion of short stories as well as articles and books on craft. It is not for beginners. The focus is on literary and mainstream short stories, and the work requires a commitment of many hours a week. Word count is 1,500 to 6,500.
