Five Links Friday 6/2/17

June 2, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

The Best Articles I Read About Writing This WeekIt’s the first Friday of June and I feel like this is going to be an awesome month. Let’s get right into Five Links Friday!

1. Let’s start with a motivational tip from NAME at Two Drops of Ink: Just Write! Stop Waiting for the Good Stuff. I couldn’t agree more. Get the words done and worry about the mess later.

2. One of the reasons I have this blog is to encourage other writers to keep going. Here’s a post from April Davila on The Power to Encourage Other Writers that’s worth a look. Remember, we’re all in this together.

3. Here’s an interesting post on marketing and How to Use the 3-Act Structure To Improve Your Content Marketing by Jeff Bullas.

4. Here’s an interesting take on show, don’t tell from Nils Ödlund at Mythic Scribes: Don’t Show, Don’t Tell – How to Leave Room for the Reader’s Imagination

5. Finally, let’s end with a question: To finish or not to finish a book you don’t like? by Vicki Batman. I say tough it out. What do you think?

That’s all for now. I hope you have a great, productive weekend, get lots of rest and even get some writing done. See you Monday!

    I appreciate you linking to my post, Just Write! Stop Waiting For the Good Stuff. I also like your summary of cleaning up the mess later, as that’s what our first drafts usually are – a mess. However, the good news is that there may be a message in the mess.

        Hi, Jason. If you’ve ever interested in a guest post, send us a submission. I firmly believe that how something is said is just as important as what is said, and your words will help someone while mine will just fall flat. She smiles. https://twodropsofink.com/submissions-to-this-site/
