Online Writer LJ reccs

[gategrrl]

I don't often recommend someone else's LJ, but I'm going to this time. shanna_s is a pro writer with several books to her name, the most recent one being Don't Hex With Texas. She's down to earth about writing, what works for her, what helps, what doesn't, and so forth. Today's entry is about procrastination. It helps that the humor that shows up in her books permeates her LJ.

Check her LJ out - I don't think you'll regret it!

(and if you want a writer with a different flavor, check out sartorias; her credits include the Wren series and Court Duel and a plethora of intelligently written tie-ins. Her entries tend to veer into Meta, with some practical entries, as well)

So, flisters: do you have a favorite writer on LJ that you'd like to recommend?

I like matociquala (Elizabeth Bear). Apart from being an incredibly prolific writer, she often talks about editing and how she's struggling to find the motivation to write, as well as posting the discussions between herself and her cat, which are just hillarious. :D

Ah yes! I forgot to mention her! Thank you for bringing her up!

She's lately slacked off on her in-depth discussions of writing processes, and hers in particular (even mentioned it in her LJ) but yes, she's also a fun LJ writer.

Oh thanks! This is a very useful post given that most writers I know are mor eof the struggling newbie types.

shannas has no entries in her LJ.

Sorry 'bout that! I corrected her LJ name. I forgot about the spacer in there. It should connect you now. :-)

Thanks. Looks like a good read. :)

Are you sure that link for sartorius is correct? It hasn't had any entries since 2005, and there's nothing about writing in the entries shown. (and I love Sherwood Smith's books, so I'd love to look at her journal.)

Gah! It happened again! Okay, her name is fixed. Jeez, I guess I really DO need to take that proofreading course!
