Blogiversary

One year ago today, I reassigned my blog to focus specifically on writing and the trials and triumphs of my own writing journey as well as those of others. It has been a pretty hectic year. Reviewing books, television shows and movies. Writing posts every few days. And working non-stop on my fantasy series. But I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.

This outlet has allowed me to grow into a better writer by way of studying the craft as well as by expanding my network and meeting such incredible people. Seriously writers, the best thing you can do for yourself is to reach out to other individuals like you and commiserate over the happy and sad times. This is how I met friends, critique partners, beta readers and all around good people.

I thought for this special day, I would share with you my five favorite blogs that I’ve written this year.

1- The Dirty Dozen : A list of the twelve cliches I love to hate

2- The Book-Building Sandwich : A method for writing a book that I came up with during lunch

3- Guest Blog: SciFi Flash Fiction : My favorite flash fiction piece for the year so far

4- Hanging On : A review of cliffhangers and what makes them work

5- The Importance of Food : Looking into the affect food descriptions can have on your novel

Hope you enjoyed these as much as I enjoyed writing them! And if we aren’t already connected on twitter, you can send me a tweet or two @rachelhwrites.
