Who Loves You?

Posted on by

It’s that time once again for Michael Stelzner’s Top 10 Blogs for Writers contest. His is one of the most popular contests on the Internet, and probably a windfall for him, for what better way to get your link circulating than to offer people the chance to win something? Kudos to him for a smart marketing idea.

Yes, I’ve been nominated (thank you, Devon). While I would appreciate being a top ten, I don’t really need the honor. I have you guys, and you honor me every day by reading and commenting and being part of my Internet gang. That includes you lurkers (yes, I see you!).

But even if I don’t make the grade (and no, I don’t expect to), I would like to share with you my Top 10, those blogs I visit daily or every week. Without them, I’d be a little poorer for it.

Ink in My Coffee
The Urban Muse
Inkthinker
Screw You!
CatalystBlogger
Written Expressions
About Freelance Writing
Fully Caffeinated
Avid Writer
All That Is Necessary
Lillie Ammann

Yes, I realize that’s eleven. I don’t limit my choices to any parameters. In fact, most, if not all, of the links to your left are hand-chosen and ones I visit regularly. These eleven are the main courses – the others, desserts.

What blogs are your favorites? Feel free to list them here.

    You're welcome, darling.

    You're definitely one of the top ten blogs for ALL writers.

    What bothers me about his list is that he calls it top ten for "Writers", but what he means is business freelancers, not people who work across a wide range of fields.

    I read a lot of the blogs on your fave list. Some of my others include:

    Freedom From the Mundane;
    The Well-Fed Writer Blog;
    Ramblings of a Suburban Soccer Mom and the offshoot, The Potted Pen;
    Ye Olde Inkwell
    Shirley Wells
    Seriocity
    Diane Parkin

    Ooo, some new ones! Yes, I love Ye Olde Inkwell and Diane, as well. And who doesn't love Peter Bowerman?

    Peter gave me the confidence to leap into writing fulltime. I'll always be grateful to him for that.

    You deserve the nomination, Lori.:)

    @ Devon: Great list of blogs. Now I have a couple of new ones to follow!

    Lori,

    Congratulations on the well-deserved nomination, and thank you for including me on your list. I'm honored that my blog is among your top 11. We have a mutual admiration society as I love your blog as well.

    Congrats on the well-deserved nomination. In addition to Words on the Page & other sites already noted above & in Lori's post, here are three other writing-related blogs that are worth a look:

    * Whatever (John Scalzi)
    * A Walk in the Words
    * Word Spy

    Also, though BoingBoing is more of a tech blog than a writer blog, Cory Doctorow does frequently post about issues related to copyright, intellectual property & related matters in a digital world.

    I must be slacking off on my own surfing, as I just now found this. Thanks for including me on the list 🙂
