Starting Write Now

2 comments May 14th, 2007

Starting Write Now is a web site put up by a group of writers that decided that writing was important to them and they were going to write and blog about there experiences. Unlike most author blogs this site does not feature one author but five. This had ensured the site had varibility in its posts and approaches to writing; it also means that each post usually has a few comments from the other writers on the site. This leads to some great discussions around each post.

Because of other commitments two of the writers had to step away from the site. I volunteered to contribute to the site and was invited to join. Tomorrow (Tuesday May 15th) my first post goes up. It is a basic introduction about me and my writing, some you may already know about me from Never Was or the White Wall but there are a lot of new things there too. I hope you will join me and the other Starting Write Now authors as we post about our experiences in writing.

Although my intention is to still Podcast and Blog here, most of my more personal writing experiences and status posts will be posted on Starting Write Now.  The post on this site will focus more on the Podcast and other items of interest.

Thinking Blogger Award

3 comments April 18th, 2007

A few days ago I was nominated by the Scribe’s Writing Desk for a Thinking Blogger Award, thank Karen for the complement.

I have been blogging for since 2003 when I started back up with writing. A lot has change in that time for me, I have moved my site from the White Wall to here at Never Was in 2006 with the launch of my Podcast.

Here is my list of nominees for the Thinking Blogger Award:

1. Michael Geist – If your a writer (even if your not Canadian) his knowledge and insite into copyright is priceless.
2. Lifehacker – Because if there is an easier/better way to do something sooner of later it will turn up here.
3. Mark Blevis – For his support of the Canadian Podcast community.
4. Wil Weaton – If your a geek so is he (and no he is not Wesley Crusher he just play him on TV)
5. Start Writing Now – Why read about one writers experiences when you can ready about several.  Great insite on writing with a life.

I would have added Scott Sigler and J.C. Hutchins but they aren’t blogger per say but their impact to writing and podcasting is too large for words

Here are the rules of participation:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,
3. Optional: Proudly display the “Thinking Blogger Award” with a link to the post that you wrote.
