Fun news!! I'm part of a new blog that's starting up today - From the Write Angle. We're a group of writers at various stages of the journey who are hoping to help other writers learn more about the publication process.
In 'our' words:
We learn best, not from our bigger than life heroes, but big brothers and sisters. We run fastest to catch the person just in front of us, not who has already finished the race. We seek The Write Angle to help you, not because we have reached the summit, but because we are in arm's length, and when you are arm's length ahead of us, we hope you'll remember how you got there.Our blog will focus on helping writers find information to assist them throughout their own journeys. It's going to be a great resource for writers of all genres and age levels. Our 4 main topic areas are:
Genre Talk
Publishing Industry
Query Questions
Writing -- The Art
We also have a couple of pages that are loaded to the brim with useful definitions and links:
A Writter's Glossary (subsections: Buzzwords of the Biz, Categories, Genres, The Art & Craft of Writing)
Online Writer's Toolbox (subsections: Fun Analyzing Tools, General Reference, Writing/Craft Related Reference, Marketing/Publishing Reference, On Querying)
We'll be blogging on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays for now. Each of us will post about once a month, so there will be a great variety of personalities and approaches to topics. We've uploaded some posts now to give everyone a taste of what FTWA will be like. There are several posts under each tab, so you'll have lots to choose from (my first post is under Query Questions).
We'll also be tweeting under the name @WriteAngleBlog
I'm SO excited to be a part of this new blog with such talented writers (check out who's who on the About the Team page - they're all amazing!!). I hope you have a chance to pop on over. I'm betting you'll like what you see! :)

Hey Jemi,
Wow, that awesome news and I just know it will be a most meaningful experience for all involved.
Sounds fascinating and informative and I wish you the very best with this venture.
I shall check out who's who and I shall duly inform Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet star about this! :) Did I ever mention that Penny is my 'pawblisher'? Probably not!
Have a good day eh.
Kind wishes, shy and modest Gary aka 'klahanie' :)
Gary - thanks :) I'm hoping it's going to be a helpful resource for writers of all levels!
I hope Penny approves of the venture - and we get her (paw) stamp of approval! :)
Aha Jemi,
Lucky you, you get a bonus comment from shy and humble me:)
Well my writing level is like I can have this really annoying habit of using the conjunction word 'and' and that means by using 'and' I can end up doing one of those really aggravating run-on sentences and when we know 'and' is not necessarily necessary and it would be much more apt to write a shorter sentence and with that this sentence will come to a screeching halt!
Penny will paws and have a think about giving you her much sought after approval. She is very famous, you know....
See ya later eh...
Gary - I'll be crossing my fingers Penny approves! :)
AND I'll be hoping you can curb that and tendency too - wouldn't want to see any examples of those scary ol' run-ons! :)
Sounds Brilliant!
I'll be over to check it out.
cool start, bless your efforts.
Al - thanks!! I hope you enjoy our new venture - I think it's got a lot going for it :)

I think this will be a great team to work with too - I'm pretty much the least experienced, so there is a TON to learn there!
Jemi that's so cool!!! I'm really excited and I'm going to go follow you guys now.
Great idea. I'll have to hop over there and check it out :)
