I’m in the middle of Camp NaNoWriMo at the moment, which
means the writer has vanished into the cave of rewriting until the end of the
month. But while I’m busy wrangling with stubborn plot points and obstinate characters,
I’ve also been enjoying the blog posts of my fellow writerly bloggers. Today I’d
like to share a round-up of five awesome bookish posts I’ve enjoyed the most in
the month of July so far.
Ana@Butterflies of the Imagination
In this post, Ana discusses an interesting question: should
books have content ratings like movies do? Whether you agree they should or
not, it’s certainly an interesting discussion. Plus there are loads of
interesting thoughts down in the comments as well.
Heather@Sometimes I’m a Story
Heather raises an interesting question here. Do writers have
a responsibility to publish what they write? Is it their duty, if they have
something to say and are reasonably good at writing, to share what they write?
Or is it ok for writers to write simply because they enjoy it and not worry
about having to publish anything?
Cait@Paper Fury
I’m sure we’ve all heard of at least one writer who has
behaved badly on the internet. Or we know super nice writers that we just want
to love. Cait has an interesting discussion wherein she discusses whether that
affects her opinion of these writers and their books. Again, there’s a great
discussion down in the comments as well.
Stephanie@Go Teen Writers
If you’re anything like me, then you struggle with book
beginnings and where to start the book. This is an excellent post that has some
simple tips to let you know if you’re starting in the right place, and what
should be in the first scenes. It’s a great resource, especially if, like me,
you’re rewriting at the moment.
Candice@O Ye Scribes
Wherein we see the return of Candice’s brilliant posts where
she uses the thesaurus to retitle some famous books. The result is hilariousness
itself. If you haven’t read it yet, you definitely need to hop over and check
it out. It’s worth it, I promise.
These are just some of the
amazing posts I’ve been reading recently. What posts have caught your eye in
July? Anything on this list you hadn’t read before? And if you’re taking part
in Camp NaNo, how are you getting on?
These are great links, thank you!
