We all need to be open to learning how to become better writers.
This applies whether you are a newcomer to writing or someone who has been trying to be successful for years. I believe one of the main ways to do this is to keep up with some of the great blogs put out there by individuals who are already having that success.
I love to read a blog - especially when you find one that has been around a while - and you can read or listen to that individuals journey. Usually from where I am now - i.e. a beginner in this area - to becoming successful.
As well as launching this site as ultimately a magazine to showcase some of the great writing that is around I also want it to be a place where writers can come for resources. This is something I will be looking to develop over the next few months.
The recent past has found me delving into podcasts quite regularly and these are the top 3 that I have found that I would encourage others to check out!
1 - Iain Broome
http://www.iainbroome.com/#intro
I found this little gem on itunes recently - mainly through the podcast Write for Your Life - which had about 159 episodes. It's great to listen to Iain and a variety of guests speaking about a whole range of writing related topics - and has been great to help me get throygh my 2 hour commute each day! Iain is knowledgeable and some of the podcasts as well as being informative are very funny. I encourage you to give this a go.
2 - The Creative Penn
http://www.thecreativepenn.com
Joanna Penn is a published author of a number of novels and shares here a whole host of information that is extremely useful to new writers. She goes into a lot of detail around self-publishing and how to get that right - and is just a great example of someone being really successful through writing.
3 - Smart Passive Income
http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/
This is a great blog run by Pat Flynn. This is a bit of a strange one to include as really Pat's thing is about giving advice around building a passive income. However - the way he broke through was in writing a textbook for an exam in the US - and turning this into a revenue generating business. His story is really motivating to me - and I always find his blog and podcast informative and helpful.
Does anyone else have any great sites that they use?
