Web Surfing For Inspiration
I'm looking at writing websites today - checking out some websites for writers.Here's a good article: Writing for Children: Throw Obstacles at Your Characters. Author Laura Backes is the publisher of Children's Book Insider and really knows what she's talking about. She suggests we remember the W's and the H questions... asking ourselves the what, who, when, where and how of plot complications. I like her child-sized example of a broken bike. That reminds me so much of my own son, the bike mechanic and general part collector.
Another site I found today is Contentious. Yes, a contentious site appeals to me. I like this lady's "I'm in it for the money" up-front attitude in her bio. May she get what she wants! I also NEED her newsletter's advice about content writing. This fits in with my business interests from both sides. I need content for Happy Camp News and I write content for others too. It keeps me young. ;)
