Great resource for developing your characters

www.inkthinkerblog.com — Chandy over at Absolute Write Water Cooler shared a great list of 100 questions for writers to use in fleshing out characters. I don’t know if I’d have the patience to get through all 100 questions for every main character in my manuscript, but even working on a few or a just a single section would be very helpful! Check it out.

Just to give you a sense of scale…

Time to vacuum!

The cream of the blogging crop

www.inkthinkerblog.com — Do you want to improve your writing skills and expand your business in 2007? Me too! That’s why I was so excited when I saw Michael Stelzner’s list of the Top 10 Blog Posts for Writers (The Best From The Best in 2006!).

Why should you read each and every one of these 10 posts? Because they contain, as Mike says, “pure gold” for writers. I learned something new from each of them, and I’ve already put some of it into practice in this post. (A bright, shiny “Good Job!” to the first person to point out what it is!)

There’s more to consulting than “This sucks — do it better”

www.inkthinkerblog.com — I posted an announcement about my new website evaluation services in a forum I recently joined, and I got what I thought was a positively hilarious reaction (paraphrased below).

Me: Announcement

Them: You’re charging $295 to tell someone that their site sucks? I do that for free.

Me: No, I’m charging $295 to tell someone how to make it stop sucking.

For the record, a site evaluation can make a good site even better, so getting one doesn’t mean you’re an incompetent ninny who knows nuttin’ ’bout nuttin’. It means you’re a smart businessperson who wants to get the greatest possible return on every investment, including your website.
