Music to write by: “Tomorrow“ by Silverchair

I started this blog because there was a lot of information out there for writers on how to write better, but very little on how to actually succeed as a writer. There are a lot of writers who already write well (you’re one of them, right?), but who need a little help getting noticed. To that end, I’ve posted about the Writers of the Future contest, the size of submission piles and wait times, and even pointed out a few OTHER blogs that are worth following. Coming up, I plan to focus on: how to get to know other writers, finding a good crit group, and identifying a few great ways to scope out new markets.

In conclusion, I’d like to thank the following writers for their kind words.

“Entertaining, educational, with a slight dash of lemon-lime.” -Michael Ehart, author of The Servant of the Manthycore Series.

“Informative and engaging. I’ve added it to my favourites.” Joel A. Sutherland, author of “The Death of Captain Eugene Bloodcake and the Fall of The Horrid Whore” in Black Sails (May 2007).

“The site is filled with good intentions and timely information all couched in a writer’s wry humor. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!” - Howard Von Darkmoor, author of Von Darkmoor’s Thoughts.

“You run an engaging blog, Jordan.” - Jens Rushing, author of “A Spider”, in Out West #4.

Thanks for the encouragement guys!
