Which is Your Favorite Writing Blog?
There are a lot of writing blogs out there these days. I tell you the competition is fierce. Well now I have discovered that there are two different sites out there running contests for the top writing blogs. This will be a quick and simple post, just to get the information out there, so don’t expect one of my usual long winded blog posts today. (Do I hear sighs of relief? Come on guys, I’m not that bad.)
The first has a deadline for nominations of September 1, so hurry and get your vote in. It is a contest for The Top 25 Writing Blogs, being featured at Maria Schneider’s Editor Unleashed. All you have to do to nominate a blog is leave a comment with the blog name and URL and why you feel it qualifies as one of the top 25 writing blogs out there today.
The other one, you have a little longer to get your vote in, but only until September 11. This contest is the 4th annual Top 10 Writing Blog Contest, being run by Mike Stelzner’s Writing White Papers blog. The rules specify you only get one vote and a blog must be nominated more than once to get in.
Of course, I would like to see every one of you drop in to these two blogs and nominate Writing to be Read, but I know there are a lot of really great writing blogs out there, so I’ll try to understand if you vote for a writing blog other than mine. In fact, even if you don’t vote at all, it is worth dropping by these two blogs to discover a plethora of really high quality writing blogs. I have shamelessly nominated Writing to be Read on both sites, because of course my own blog is going to be my favorite. Here are two chances to voice your opinion on which is your favorite writing blog, so go vote already.
For Heavens Sake, Pick Me!
What better blog could there be
Than Writing to be Read?
I end each post with a little poem
That should stick in your head.
So you will ponder all day long
On what you have read here.
With any luck, it will bring you back
Loyal readers are held dear.
So when you log onto those sites
And all those writing blogs, you see,
Remember all that you’ve read here
And for heavens sake, pick me!

LOL–Girl, you tickle me. I must admit that I did check the length of this post before I read it. But to be fair, I do that with everything I read. That way I know how much time I need to set aside…lol. Speaking of which, I need to read your post about time management {ahem}. Well, I didn’t know about these contests, so I guess I’m gonna have to check them out. Thanks for the info.
I am also called chris j s if you see other sites on this today site. I have a few (very few) and I have probably seen about five or so I guess.
I like one that involves movies and how to write the screenplay (script) and I am new to this one as I have only read about two posts.
I have only read two but I like it.
You should write as long as you want (ha ha ha)
I think that substance and amount is welcome to ANYONE who wants to learn how to write as long as the person knows what they are talking about.
Great post.
God is love and Jesus loves too.
