Write A Better Novel / Bill Henderson

January 25, 2011 by Margaret Duarte

When I come across a blog site that stands out from the crowd, I’ll pass it along, as a thanks to the author for creating it and as a gift to you for stopping by.

You may not always be interested in the site’s specialty, but I’m sure you’ll agree it was at least worth a visit. Who knows, you might even find a site you’ll want to save to your “Favorites” and visit again.

And then there are those days when I want to:

  • Bring in a guest blogger.
  • Share tips on craft.
  • Make an announcement.  You know, when something really good (or bad) happens in my writing life that I just can’t wait to share.
  • Do a book talk.

The posts will be short and sweet, because I don’t want to turn this into a lot of work.  If all goes according to plan, I need to concentrate HARD on revising my four novels, get them in tip-top shape and possibly cut back on blogging (oh my).

So for today, I’d like to share the website of writing coach Bill Henderson. 

Bill describes his blog as, “A professional blog for novelists and other fiction writers who want to add new skills and understand old skills in new ways.”

And he has some great stuff.  It’s worth a look.

Enjoy!

    Margaret, I am happy to be your guest blogger. I am learning so much. And if any fans of yours would like me to answer any questions on writing I will try to give an answer. Thanks for giving me the push to start writing again.

    Hi Dorothy. It would have been a shame–and a crime–for you to stop writing. I'm glad being a guest blogger here has given you the push you needed.

    Hi Norelle. I Bill Henderson's video, short, but sweet. The book revisions are never done, it seems. Thanks for stopping by.

    I will check out the video. You will never know that one day, I will finally get to finish all my drafts too. Probably another 20 years. Smiles.

    I know exactly how you feel, Self Sagacity. I still have polishing to do on three novels. Hopely I'll finish at least one more this year. That is, if I can stay off the Internet.
