Okay, I know there are a lot of Writing Wednesday type memes out there: WIP Wednesday, Writing Advice Wednesday, Writers Wearing Waders Wednesday, Writers Watering Weeping Willows, Wildflowers and Wildebeests Wednesday. . . . (I may have made up one or two of those.) But this is new (I think).

My mom, sisters and I started a craft blog a couple months ago (stick with me here). In the craft blogosphere, dozens of blogs run weekly “Linky Parties.” Participants add links to their crafts from the week, and visitors to the site get to see pictures. Hundreds and hundreds of pictures. They can click through and find new great crafts, tutorials and blogs. Lots of the linky parties also feature their favorite crafts from the week as well.

I wanted to bring those fun benefits to the writing community, too. So starting next week, I’ll host WRITING WEDNESDAY every other week: bring your favorite articles on writing and we’ll add them to a Mr. Linky.

What are the rules?

1. All articles must directly relate to writing. If you see something that makes you think of a writing principle, and you want to participate, I recommend you blog about your thoughts, and then submit your blog post.
2. Articles can come from your blog or someone else’s.
3. If it’s your post, link back to Writer Wednesday in the post so your visitors can join in the fun!
4. You can submit up to three articles total.
5. Posts can be old or new.

Why should you participate?

• We can all benefit from this!
• Find new blogs and great writing advice—without sifting through the ENTIRE INTERNET.
• Share the articles you’ve worked so hard on with my 200+ RSS subscribers.
• It’s a great way to grow a blog!

So start collecting articles for next week!
