I've always felt a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of online writing sites and have wondered how to know which are legitimate. <br /><br />I have always loved Bird by Bird.

It made me feel less alone to know that even well-known, successful writers can be prone to doubts.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575140898505901920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-50499851324885892752011-02-15T07:09:17.916-05:002011-02-15T07:09:17.916-05:00And knows how to spell labouirously!And knows how to spell labouirously!chiccorealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902834462795623856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-4026580698359472642011-02-15T07:08:22.898-05:002011-02-15T07:08:22.898-05:00Dear Vicki: Any good writer worth their salt is a...Dear Vicki: Any good writer worth their salt is a reader par aficionado and labourously studies the masters, be they ancient or pop.
