I believe every writer gets better with time and practice. One of the main reasons I created this blog was to have a vehicle for my writing. I started it several years with no promotion. It was only my little place on the Internet to put down thoughts. Since the New Year the blog is now on several directories and linked to other blogs. It has already taken some turns and the twists will continue. I have written for some time, but there is still so much to learn about the craft.<\/p>\n

According to Stephen King<\/a>, the rule to becoming a better writer is \u201cread a lot, write a lot.\u201d I can definitely do more of both. The focus of my blog is to make content key. The blog has no main topic, which was intentional. I want to be able to write about anything and everything.<\/p>\n

In an attempt to sharpen my writing skills, and learn from others on the Internet, I browsed through some writing blogs. I came up with a few that I have bookmarked and would like to share with fellow bloggers. There are many successful writers on the web and we can all learn from their experiences.<\/p>\n

Here are some of my favorite writing blogs:<\/p>\n
