You know, there's a ton of writers blogs and that actually makes sense. After all, to blog is to write, and that's what makes a writer. Writing. And what do these writers write about? Well... writing of course.
It's amazing to me how so many people are getting into writing these days. And because they want to be good, successfull, and published, they know to make the most of their time to learn about writing. Sure you can buy and read books about it. But really you don't have to. So much of that information can be found for free. It's because the experiences of so many writers are freely given on their blogs.
Not just their experiences but the wealth of their knowledge, too. I found my first writers blog by googling literary agents. Nathan Bransford came up and I clicked on it. Even though, at the time, he was a literary agent, it was a writer's blog to be sure.
But he's not the only one. A lot of literary agents blog about writing and publishing, and if anyone wants to be a good writer who gets published, then he/she should read those blogs daily.
I must admit there have been some bloggers that I didn't like. One thing about someone who blogs daily is that after a while you come to know them pretty well. And after coming to know some of these people through their blogs, I discovered I didn't like them very much. I may or may not get into the reasons some day. But soon thereafter I stopped reading some of them.
But that doesn't matter, really, because that's the way the real world works. Wherever you go there will be people you like and people you don't. So what's new?
Still, the ones you can learn from, even if you don't like them, I would keep on reading.
