It took me less than 15 minutes to hyperlink the Weighty Wednesday and Foodie Friday posts to their respective pages. It helps me find them when I title the blog post with the WW or FF first. :-) That was when I realized I hadn't written a Writing 101 post in a very long time. Part of the reason is that those particular posts take a little bit of thought . . . that's not to say my other posts don't take some thought, but let's be real here, most of the time I'm posting 'off the cuff', or "pulling it out of my a$$".
Here are a few of the topics that haven't been covered yet. I will confess that a couple of these particular posts will be very, very short as they aren't my writing strengths, which means I don't have a definite opinion on them.
HA! Bet that surprised some of you!
Personally, I'm leaning toward -- Hooks. And I think Jody suggested Beginnings and Endings about a gazillion years ago. Anyone else have a topic you want to listen to me blather on and on about??
Anyone? *taps microphone* Anyone?
"Ruh-roh, the zombie Apocalypse has already struck! And I'm talking into nothingness!" Aaarrrrgggghhhh! "Run away, run away!"
Here are a few possibilities:
Writing 101 -- Plot
Writing 101 -- Story Structure
Writing 101 -- Dialogue
Writing 101 -- Writing Style
Writing 101-- Punctuation
Writing 101 -- Voice
Writing 101 -- Hooks
Writing 101--GMC Goal, Motivation, and Conflict
Writing 101--Craft
Writing 101 -- Description
Writing 101 -- Using Spellcheck and Grammar check
Writing 101 -- Beginnings &Endings
And yes, some of them DO overlap--genius of you to catch that! Or if you want to know how I approach judging a contest, I'm sure I've jabbered on about that topic numerous times!
Hey, I did do a crit for my friend Cyndi (Texas Two Step) for her next book and she mentioned that I should be an EDITOR. *snork* Yeah, I thought the same thing! It's because I don't worry about the minutiae (line editing) of the story--that's the writer's job until the story is uber-polished--but I tend to see more of the big picture: pacing, character development, etc.
Anyhoo, if you have a suggestion feel free to chime in!
Later, Peeps!

Links
No, not golf courses--hyperlinking.
If you've visited my little blog and clicked on the tabs under the header (especially Weighty Wednesday and Foodie Fridays . . . well, and Writing 101, which I have been remiss in writing) then you'll notice that the list is hyperlinked back to the original blog post. I tried to keep up with it weekly, but quickly gave up. I decided to tackle those links monthly.
Erm, month's up, and it's time to update my blog.
It's not hard, just time consuming.
I have stuff to do, rotating my summer clothes, getting rid of my 'fat' clothes {already built a respectable pile}, more laundry as the family is leaving today, Weight Watchers, grocery store, lunch with my mom, judging the contest entries I failed to finish before I left, rewriting the next chapter of TROLL, taking more pics of the yard because the ones I took on March 12 are SO different now . . .
--oh, I had my first rose bloom, Chasing Rainbows, and I need to take a picture of that.
(cont.) writing my Weighty Wednesday blog, cleaning bathrooms, piecing a second Angels All Around afghan and crochet panels, testing the pool chemicals, hanging out in the sun (got to absorb your Vitamin D, yanno) . . . I think I could come up with a HUGE list of stuff to do.
Anyhoo, if you are one of those who like checking links out, then don't worry, I'll get right on it . . . after I finish this cup of coffee, and shoo the family out the door to the airport, get the kidlet's lunch ready, go for walkies, shower, Weight Watchers, Wal-Mart (oh, yeah, forgot that chore!), and lunch with Mom. . . .
Ye-ah . . . better get started.
Later, Peeps!
