Don't Blink

I follow @AdviceToWriters (Jon Winokur) on Twitter, and these are a few of the links that caught my eye this past week or so. 

• “Cliches Avoid Them Like the Plague” by Laura Hayden on Suspense.net

• “A Handbook of Rhetorical Devices” by Robert A. Harris on VirtualSalt

• “11 Stupidest Writing Mistakes” on SalesHQ

• “Thirteen Writing Prompts” by Dan Wiencek on Timothy McSweeney Does Not Need An Apostrophe.

• “3 Crucial Elements of Well-Written Blog Posts” by Bamboo Forest on DailyBlogTips

Here are two other sites I want to share – one that I found the week I started my blog (blog designs), and the other I found this week while trying to find out what soft canon meant (still not quite sure and too lazy to look it up in my Columbia Dictionary of Modern Literary and Cultural Criticism or Dictionary of Literary Terms & Literary Theory (Penguin) books).

• “45 More Excellent Blog Designs” by Sven Lennartz on Smashing Magazine

• “Literary Vocabulary” by Dr. L. Kip Wheeler (Carson-Newman College)

Enjoy!
