Welcome back to Writing Wednesday! I let it slip a couple weeks, but now we’re back and better than ever—seriously. Check out the change—now there’s a prize!
Since so many of us are writers, I know we all must read lots of writing blogs. So let’s share some of the great things we learn about writing through a fun new linkup! It’s like a blogfest, only easier!
Last time, we had two fantastic entries:
- ? Doc: Dealing with the questions that come up while writing
- Daniel R. Marvello – Evolution of a Beat Sheet
Share your best posts on writing today!
What are the rules?
- 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.
- You should use a descriptive name so we all want to click on the article: Jordan McCollum wouldn’t be very enticing, but Doing Backstory Right would.
- Articles can come from your blog or someone else’s.
- If it’s your post, PLEASE link back to Writer Wednesday in the post so your visitors can join in the fun! (You can use the badge below—the code includes a link!)
- You can submit up to three articles total.
- Posts can be old or new.
- You have until Tuesday, 6 September 2011 to submit.
- If you’d like to follow me, I certainly wouldn’t object! It’s not required, though.
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!
How can I get a cool badge?
Copy the code below and paste it into a blog post or a gadget/widget in your sidebar. (It’s in HTML, so be sure you’re adding an HTML gadget, or select the Edit HTML/HTML tab above the text window on the edit post page.)
Where do we put our links?
Right here! Please remember to link directly to your post (i.e. ihaveablog.blogspot.com/2011/05/i-have-a-post.html and NOT ihaveablog.blogspot.com—this makes it easier to find the article!) and use a descriptive name (i.e. How to handle backstory and NOT Yippity Skippity Blog!).
Just fill in the boxes below to get started:
Ch-ch-ch-changes!
I’m going to change two things for this link party. The first will be that the party will move from being held biweekly, to being held every Wednesday.
And change #2 is a bit more exciting: How about a prize for one contributor? One link author, chosen at random (only links entered by their authors are eligible), will receive a $20 Amazon gift card! Winner to be announced next Writing Wednesday.
Thanks for participating!

I made an error with my first attempt to upload the information: My post is called “This Premise is alarmed”: Premise as the basis of detective (and other) fiction. Sorry about that. I’m enjoying this blog and finding it useful, so I hope this is a useful contribution for others.
I’ll fix it right now. Thanks for participating!
Thanks for doing this! It’s a great idea.
Hi, Jordan. I tried leaving a post, but it seems to be stuck.
It just takes a minute. It’s showing up fine for me. Thanks!
Thanks for doing this. It’s fun 🙂
