I love to read what other authors are writing about and one of the best ways to do that is by reading their blogs.
Here I've started a collection of the best writing blogs - from authors, for authors.
To have a blog considered for inclusion, contact me!
Angela Booth

What happens when your muse has gone missing in action? Almost every writer goes through a period of writer's block at some point. Frustration can take over, causing you to lose passion for your writing. The pain is real when you stare at the blank screen or page, willing yourself to write. What is at stake for you if you aren't writing?
In as little as one hour, you can be having fun and allowing your muse to play. I would like to introduce you to Holly Lisle's How to Beat Writer's Block (And Have FUN Writing From Now On). With this mp3 audio course, Holly will take you step by step through the process of overcoming your block. In just 30 minutes, the ideas for your new story or solutions to a problem in your current project will pour across the page.

With her expert guidance, you will not only move past your block but will learn how to prevent the block from happening again. You will also receive commitment training, a walkthrough to get you focused on writing again, dozens of ideas, and five-minute daily coaching. The course includes the forms you will need to keep up with your new ideas as well as a bonus report, 21 Ways To Get Yourself Writing When Your Life Has Just Exploded.

Daisy Dexter Dobbs
Daisy Dexter Dobbs is a romance writer, specializing in screwball romantic comedy with "real women" sized heroines. To the utter shock and horror of many, she also writes hot, steamy, funny erotic romance-with lots of very bad words and graphic sex scenes. She believes the world is in need of more laughter, and does her darnedest to supply it.
