A great writing blog I recently discovered

With the tagline of “Kill your darlings,” The Blood Red Pencil has post after post of excellent writing, revising and editing advice. Staffed by a growing number of magazine and book editors from all across the industry (their goal is to eventually have 50 editors contributing) BRP covers topics from dialogue to common writing mistakes to avoiding cliches to understanding proofreader’s marks.

Just browsing through past posts will have you stumbling across something that can be applied to your current work, I guarantee it. And these people know what they’re talking about. So if you are an editor, consider joining and helping enlighten writers everywhere. And if you’re a writer, pay close attention to this blog. We should never stop learning.

In holiday news, the blog will go on hiatus till after I get back from Christmas, which probably won’t be until next week. Have a Merry Christmas everyone! See you in the new year.

I see that smile.
