Blog Posts of Interest
Two of our favorite blogs featured articles on blog comments recently. I recommend reading both Grammar Girl Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing's, "How to Write a Great Blog Comment" and Miss Snark's First Victim's, "Critique Etiquette 101: Sit on Your Hands."
Barbara Poelle's post about character traits on the blog, Hey, There's a Dead Guy in the Living Room, is a fantastic read if you write fiction.
If you have any news you'd like to share from this week, please feel free to post it in the comments.
Have a great weekend!

Congrats Carolyn! Love the title.
Definitely have to check out those recommended blogs this weekend. Thanks, Mary, for posting them.
Have a great weekend! Can't wait to read next week's awesome advice.
Congratulations, Carolyn! I love hearing news like that.
I've read MSFV's blog on accepting crit comments (thought it was great) and B. Poelle's characterization article (advised all my cohorts in my writing group to go and have a read). I haven't read Grammar Girl's blog, so once I post this I'll link over there.
Thanks for the agent/contest news - I look forward to Friday's round-up :)
