I am so thankful to be part of a community that supports and celebrates one another and even gives virtual pats on the back. Yes, friends, I'm talking blog awards.Wise Writer
The effervescent Shannon at Book Dreaming gave me this flattering award eons ago. The two rules are to name one (or more) favorite writing resources and pass the award along to other bloggers who've stimulated your thinking and whose wisdom has helped you along the way.
These are some of the titles most thumbed through and scribbled in among my collection:
The Scene Book by Sandra Scofield
Manuscript Makeover by Elizabeth Lyon
Plot and Structure by James Scott Bell
Beginnings, Middles and Ends by Nancy Kress
Actually, all Nancy Kress writing books are gold. She's my hero.
I pass this one along to the following sage ladies (no offense to the gentlemen, I just liked the assonance):
Angela at My Poetry and Prose Place
Faith at Faith Elizabeth Hough
Mary at Play off the Page
Laura P. at Exercising the Right to Ramble
Saumya at Left and Write Brained
Making Smiles
The "M
aking Smiles on Faces Award" is all about happy (and a smidge wordy, but if there's one thing happiness makes us do, it's gush, right?) This one came from the lovely Lisa at Read. Write. Repeat.I pass this one along to the following cheer bringers:
E. Elle at The Writer's Funhouse
Janet at Musings of a Children's Writer
JEM at Can I get a side of reality with that?
Laura M. at Wavy Lines
Lynn at Place to Create
What are your favorite writing resources? What made you smile today?

ReplyDeleteThese are great awards. Thanks so much for giving me the "Thinker." I need to write an awards post - maybe on Friday. It is a good week to spread some cheer and encouragement. It's been way too cold. We're in the winter schlumps. Most people are feeling badly about not meeting their New Year's goals. Cheers!
