Creative Writing Blog, Articles, News, and MoreThis 'Creative Writing Blog' is utilitarian, meant to show at a glance what's new to the site. If something strikes me, I write a short note about it. If I add a page
to the site, or update existing pages, they're all listed here. All the creative writing tips and articles remain here until they are bumped off by newer items, so checking back regularly
will keep you up to date on changes, and permanent articles can always be found through the sitemap or internal links. Every time I update the Creative Writing Contests page the link shows up here, and this is also where I add some of the tidbits that I post on Twitter. While this is primarily a blog about writing fiction, I also post time sensitive book news or author announcements that I don't want to turn into permanent web pages
because the information or opportunity is likely to change. For more creative writing news and information, follow me on Twitter. Please help Be-a-Better-Writer.com Grow. Link to this page or click below to LIKE it and share this no-frills creative writing blog with your friends: If you have an RSS reader, be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed at the bottom of the left column for automatic updates whenever I add something new.
