Writing Advice From The Blogosphere

I had a blog about writing but I was looking for a successful and outstanding blog. An adventure was in order.

A couple of galaxies down and one nebula over I entered the Middle Zone (where else?) I saw Ricardo Bueno making a Chris Brogan list with Scott McIntyre about 50 ways to get paid to write online.

Meanwhile Ulla Hennig was inspiring us with photos and thoughts and Jeanne had just come up with a brilliant set of writer’s notes.

Meanwhile, some soul travelers were adventuring round the universe and asking, “Has anyone found a creative way to make your garden grow?”

No-one seemed to notice the group in a candlelit corner. Dressed in black, mother earth held a rendezvous with the space age sage and the creative soul. Rumor had it they were plotting to send everyone on earth postcards from the funny farm, sparking a creative revolution across the universe.

The meeting of folks organising 3 weddings broke into conflict with the Einsteins from the brain based biz over the interpretation of punctuality rules. That seemed HUGE until they remembered that good grammar was worth protecting, not fighting over.

Wilson couldn’t stop talking about that bold advice for business success. As a result 2,000 people decided to clear some much needed space and follow Meryl in jumping out of a plane – wishing they hadn’t as they dropped (that’s wisdom by hindsight for you) and we heard them recounting what happened with 5 storytelling techniques for days after.

The editor reported that the stories were all brilliant, proving that it really is a deaf mom’s world.

My own perspective is that things change when you know how to get past the poop in the road.

End of story.

This is my contribution to Liz Strauss’ Labor Day Blog-Lib Link Love project – thanks Liz for getting us to test the old grey matter and do some valuable linking out.

I decided to build my contribution around those of you who’ve taken the time to leave 2 or more comments here over the last month. I hope I got you all!

Many, many thanks – to all of you who take the time to comment. (Sorry I didn’t include a link to all but trying to work them all in would have stretched my creative abilities to breaking point…)

If you want to join in the link love project check out Liz’s original post. Entries need to be posted by 2pm Thursday 6th September (Chicago time)
