Five Links Friday 10/19/18

October 19, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

The best articles I read about writing this weekIt’s a awesome October Friday and my favorite day of the year is rapidly approaching. While we wait, here are some links on writing to keep you motivated and get you through the weekend. Enjoy!

1. Let’s start off this week with a post by on mistakes by K.M. Weiland with a detailed look at Poor Cause and Effect in your fiction.

2. Twitter is a great tool for writers to use to interact with other writers and potential readers. But it certainly has it’s annoying side. Here are 10 Tweets You Should Never Send by Molly Greene.

3. We all go through times where it seems like we’ve run out of creativity. Here’s a post by About Lauren on The Despair of Being Creatively Blocked (and How to Pull Yourself Out of It).

4. I’ve stated that I struggle with procrastination constantly. My tendency to procrastinate disgusts me, in fact. But on the other side of that, here’s a post by Kathy Edens at Writer’s Digest on How to Incorporate Procrastination into Your Writing Schedule.

5. Finally, here’s a post by Michael Hauge at Writers Helping Writers with some tips on how to Transform Your Critique Group that will help you grow as a writer.

That does it for the week. So have a great weekend, get some writing done, and go out and celebrate the return of the real Michael Myers so we can all forget that those abominations by Rob Zombie ever existed.

    Jason, do you have any articles to recommend with regard to how much backstory to give characters, particularly in flash fiction?
