Couple great blogs on writing...

Want to know about semicolons? The Oatmeal has a wonderful explanation. For the record, I usually hate oatmeal, but this is brilliant.http://theoatmeal.com/comics/semicolon

Beth Trissel shared her journey in writing and gives some great writing advice.

  1. I love semi-colons; they are awesome! ;-) I love them even more now that I have read that fun and helpful blog. It is nice to know that I do know how to use them. Sometimes they get used too much when a period would actually be better, so I have to go back and check myself at times, but for the most part, I'm good with semi-colons.

  4. Loved the semicolon blog. I don't use them anymore - seems they are not 'good' for a YA tale. At least that's what I'm told. But I love how it was presented. Good refresher for me.

    As for the Trissel blog - I found it greatly encouraging.

    1. It seems semicolons are appropriate for fiction, from what I've read about them. I also appreciated how clear the explanation was. Always nice to know I really do understand them.

      I love Beth's blog.
