Surfing the Blogosphere
January 12, 2010Oooo, look at me. I’m breaking my blog schedule. Don’t I feel rebellious. Um no, but I do hate my blog schedule btw...it just stresses me even more but I feel I have to commit to something so how about this...I'll promise three blogs a week. If you get more, count yourself lucky.
Since I have taken on this new project, oh it feels good, I don't have much time to surf the blogosphere so my commenting is down. If you miss me, just know I'm reading but not commenting. Here are a few places I've been in the last week or two that I find are worth mentioning.
BTW... I'm an idiot or a at the very least a dork. I reworked my blog page yesterday and mucked with my settings and I put my "About Me" title in the "name" field, so instead of "Girl with One Eye" comments you got "About Me" comments. *shakes head* I fixed it though.

Cute Monday blog that had me giggling all the way through. I've yet to check yesterday but I am sure it will be delightful.
Editorial Ass - Overwriters Anonymous
Are you abusing the written word? Though I have adopted my new friend "Said" and lessened my dialogue tags. I have recently discovered that I suffer from "unnecessary restate", which is something brought to my attention by my lovely critique partner. Thankfully it is fixable. Overwriters have a blindness to their problems but with help and the eye of a critique buddy you can overcome your bad writing habits too.
YA Highway - Why You Should Think Before You Post
Something to ponder before you vent in public. This is the exact reason I have never written a diary. No matter how secretive you think you are being, if you write it down, it can be read by someone other than you.
Amber Argyle – 10 Steps to Unblock Your Writer’s Block
Though this blogger has decided to take a rest from blogging (to write, smart girl) I found this post to be very helpful. Especially # 3. Turn off your internal editor. Repeat after me: The first draft is crap. And that's okay.
Just a couple of blog posts I thought noteworthy of mention.
