New Site is up

Welcome to Writers' Rites!

This is a community blog for writers, talking about . . . writing.

Here's a sneak peak about some of the upcoming topics I'll be writing about:
1) The process of writing. Here we'll explore the process of drafting, revising, editing . . . all the things I teach my students in written composition.

2) I'll share some primary "tips" I've learned from teaching writing that should help your writing become stronger.

3) I'll share some of what really happens in the writing process, some of the things that have worked, and some that haven't. I'll also bring in other writers to share their experiences as well.

4) I'll talk about different genres of writing. Again, you'll be hearing from other voices as well on this one.

5) We'll take a look at some famous author bios

6) I'll throw in a few common grammar trends and break them down in ways that hopefully won't be so . . . 7th grade school marm-ish.

7) I'll write some about the submission process, include helpful websites and tips, and encourage you to weigh in as well.

After that . . . we'll see where this goes. Hopefully this can become a writing community where we share our writing experiences, tips, and learn from each other.

And now . . . on with the story . . .
