Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and participation. The giveaway is officially closed (mere hours after the Olympics ended. More than a coincidence?). .-= Greg Pincus´s last blog ..More Linkage =-.

Hi Greg,

I enjoyed meeting you at the SCBWI meeting in Seattle. I like Jane Friedman’s blog for writers where she compiles the best tweets for writers every week.

Hello Greg!
I like to read the Wordsmiths Blog, written by a professional group of writers in Southern California, headed by Nancy I. Sanders. This blog offers inspiration as well as how-to’s in writing. http://wordsmiths8.wordpress.com/

Thanks for letting me share.

I would recommend a blog that I read on a regular basis by author Nancy I Sanders. She inspires me to keep writing when the rejection letters role in. http://nancyisanders.wordpress.com

Greg, Enjoyed your presentation at the SCBWI Western Washington meeting. Thanks!
Two blogs that I find extremely useful are:

and

Angela Morrison is my sister-in-law, so I had to go with that one.

What a wonderful opportunity, Greg. I hope I win. One of my favorite blogs to read is Nancy I. Sanders’ (http://nancyisanders.wordpress.com). She’s a children’s author and has wonderful book reviews, author interviews, and just loads of practical, useful tips on ways to become a more successful author.

I’d love to see people visit my friend Quill Gordon’s blog, The View From Fish In A Barrel Pond, located at http://ghoti62.wordpress.com/.

He is a talented writer and photographer (you’ll have to dip a little further into his blog than the first pages to see pictures in which the Vermont snow is not the main feature, though). Think old-line Yankee humor and you’ll be right on the money.

I dip in and out of a lot of writing blogs, but Quill’s and Lisa Adams’, at http://www.lisabonchekadams.com/Site/Lisa_Bonchek_Adams.html, which is written by a young mother of three who’s in her third year as a breast cancer survivor, are the kind that remind me *why* we write — that in the everyday, and the hard things, there are things to be said.

I always say that there are only two kinds of stories; the ones that have to be told because they’re about unique experiences, and the ones that have to be told because they’re not.

Thank you for this opportunity!

I recommend Brian’s Blog: Writer Talk: Random Thoughts on the Art and Craft of Fiction Writing:
http://brianyansky.blogspot.com/

No bells, no whistles, but a friendly over-a-cup-of-coffee kind of pep talk or musing from a working YA writer about the craft, the life, and occasionally, sheepdogs.

HI Greg,
This is a brilliant idea and a great way to celebrate fours years in blogging.
Along with some sites already mentioned, my must go to site is Jane Friedman of Writers Digest. Not only does she have thought provoking posts on all things publishing but her twitter round up at the end of the week is becoming a must read for me. I have learned many things and discovered great blogs through her recommendations.
