  • All right, guys. It looks like the 5th Annual Top 10 Blogs for Writers Contest is being held for this year. Folks are over there nominating their favorite blogs written specifically for the in-depth edification and entertainment, the support and encouragement, the comedy and companionship, the sheer on-going benefit of our vast, shifting, complex, sometimes rueful, often bamboozled, always intriguing online community of writers.

    Actually, I made all that stuff up. But they really are looking for nominations.

    Boy, howdy, you get to vote! Who’s your favorite blogger for writers?

    (You do realize there’s a particular answer I’m looking for here.)

    (And, yes, you do have to go vote on their site, not mine.)

  1. Hi VIctoria,
    Well, of course I like yours, but my top blog is Rosanne Bane’s:
    http://baneofyourresistance.wordpress.com/
    Which is on your blogroll as well…
    Best,
    Michael

  2. Yippee! My nomination, for your site of course Victoria, has been submitted.

    Though I’ve only recently discovered you, your words have inspired me and helped improve my craft immensely, and I appreciate you very much!

  3. I nominated you, too. I’ve lost patience with “writing” blogs that dwell on trips to the dentist and visits from in-laws. I want a source I can count on to intelligently cover topics relevant to improving my writing.

    That you are also able to incorporate laughs and encouragement is a wonderful bonus!

  4. I have to nominate you…and me! :)

  5. Your blog is wonderful! I am in love with the way you write. You have such a conversational tone yet it doesn’t feel so loosely informal.

    Another blog I rely heavily upon is Ricki Schultz’s “My Daytime Drama”:

  6. You all are darling, and I love you. And you are going over and voting over on the 5th Annual Top 10 Blogs for Writers Contest site, aren’t you? Because I can only take nominations here for blogs OTHER than my own. :)
