Blog Roundup: October 31 - November 6, 2011

Chuck Wendig's blog remains a go-to resource for the writer with a sense of humor about what she does. He posted another 25 things article, this one about writing advice.

Greta van der Rol hosted Meg Mims for a post on the importance of research. Lack of research can rip your reader right out of the story and leave a sour taste in her mouth, so it's vital.

Imran Siddiq offered this post of tips on writing prose. I also thought this post on "oomph" words was interesting because it shows how important word choice really is.

Bob Mayer offered this wrap up of Storyworld. I thought Disney's weenie was especially useful. All ten of those tips can apply to your "brand" as a writer.

I want to share this post from Erotic Romance because it made me start planning a blog post on the crossover from fanfiction to original fiction.

Into the Morning made this post on book design trends she loves and hates. Look closely. If you're in the market for a cover designer, I think she potentially offered.

Keystrokes and Word Counts has a series of posts on the ABCs of NaNo. Even if you're not doing NaNo, the posts are worth checking out.

Stella Deleuze posted part three of her dialogue attributes series.

The Bookshelf Muse hosted a guest post from Janice Hardy on marketing your novel.

Written Words posted about not carving your outline into stone. I think the core of the post is important to every writer: be flexible.

Your Cover Uncovered reviewed the Tulagi Hotel by Heikki Hetala.

    creating a seal that can lock that moisture in place.
    Increasing your usage of eye cream in winter will
    prevent faint eye lines from becoming deep crow's feet. This is because the brush causes the hairs to stand up and can result in a closer shave with fewer ingrown hairs.
