Bag of Writing Tips
Here's a nicely mixed bag of tips for successful writing. These links comprise some of the fundamental resources I've hoarded throughout this blog's life. Before I delete them from the "Drafts" I will gather them into posts. Make note of these resources and mine them for yourself:
Ed 2010 is the place to go for, as Ed says, "your magazine dream job." The WhisperJobs is it's great feature, and now a message board is functioning. Ed's blog seems to have died out a couple of years ago, possibly around the time Ed joined Twitter as @Ed2010news. Do we see a what's what here?BLOG Twitter.
Allen & Unwin is an Australian book publisher with a very useful service called The Writing Center. I especially like the Writers on Writing section. They currently feature a Q & A with Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Committed and Eat, Pray, Love.
Chris Gobel's Writing Help Page displays his to ten list of "no-no" hints for writing in general. Some of the links may be outdated, but the easily- understood guidance is evergreen. This is part of his website, HUMDINGER LITERARY E-ZINE: All kinds of writing for all kinds of readers. This site is now an archive, nay, a treasure, to be plundered systematically for all it's worth.
Another deep, deep resource is the English Usage FAQ Home Page of http://www.yaelf.com/ -- also housing the FAQ page for the old alt.usage.english Usenet group (anybody here old enough to have belonged to Usenet groups? Waaaay back, predating the World Wide Web.) It might be easier to use this huge website via its site map.
Just as the classics become references to have at hand, while experts and authorities take up more techy methods to communicate, A Writer's Edge Blog will remain right here, while I continue on Twitter. Also available via RSS.

I like when you clean house. We get all these goodies passed on to us. :)
Thanks, Lori, for coming to comment. This does feel sort of like a garage sale. You know, where all your precious heirlooms sell for a pittance?
