I adore the word gobsmacked! <br /><br />And also another thing you could do once a month. . . perhaps you can have where writers submit in the comments 100 or 200 words of a certain scene in their manuscript. One month you can say, "Write two hundred words of an emotional scene." The next month you can say, "Write one hundred words of an action scene." <br /><br />Writers can submit these in the comments and let other writers comment and critique, and at the end of the month you can pick the top three or so to critique and post, point out the well-written areas or flaws of the scene of the scene. <br /><br />This may seem like a lot, but it'll only come once a month. Plus, it'll bring more activity to your blog.Melanie W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-91549298850516910622012-01-11T23:25:55.198-05:002012-01-11T23:25:55.198-05:00I think Tip Tuesdays are good-but there are so man...I think Tip Tuesdays are good-but there are so many blogs out there now with writing tips, that another series might work just as well (not just writing tips, but maybe networking and marketing tips).

It is such a valuable resource. I've learned so much from reading about what works and what doesn't work from fellow writers.

I always turn to your blog when I have a new agent I'm not sure if I should query or not. <br /><br />Like many other writers here, I'm pushing hard to get repped (or just get to a publisher) in 2012. It's high on my list, and I'm planning on breaking down as many doors as I have to to accomplish it!<br /><br />Thanks for your blog! If Tip Tuesdays lives, I'll try to send in something.
