3 Great Blog Posts

I visited some really great sites during a blogfest middle of December, and about half way through, I wished I had kept a list of the best posts. So, I didn't start making notes until late in the game, but I wanted to share some of my favorites with you.

How to Write an Epic Adventure ... now interestingly enough, this post comes from a gaming site, but the concepts presented would help ANY writer take their story to the next level. Definitely worth stopping in and reading!

Create a Personal Universe Deck ... create a *what* ?? Seriously. At first, I scrunched up my eyebrows, and thought, what the heck are you talking about? But, after reading it twice (seriously, I can be a little slow-to-grasp sometimes) I realized what a great idea this is ... I had never heard of it before. I'm going to give it a test drive and see what happens. I let you know in a future post.

Traditional Publishing vs. Self Publishing ... I don't think this blog post was actually a part of the blogfest, but somehow I happened upon it, and I thought it presented a great discussion of the topic.

What's the best blog post or tip you've read recently?

  3. Hi Margo!

    I really liked the character piece that faraway eyes did on her father for the Deja vu blogfest at http://farawayeyes1.blogspot.com/. Great idea to profile some of the best posts from the fest. There are so many great ones out there!

  4. I love the personal universe deck idea; I used a lot of random methods when I used to write poetry. They're great for getting around blocks and making your mind work in new directions.

  5. OK, I'm obviously a sheep. I just had to check out the personal universe deck idea too! Thanks for linking to it, it's one of the blogfest entries I managed to miss in that loooong list.
