Writers' blogs

Many days, when I should be writing or blogging I find myself reading other writers' blogs. It's a whole lot easier, plus entertaining and informative!

Here are some writers' blogs I enjoy. You may too.

Maureen Johnson, YA authorwho pines for a pink taser.

Meg Cabot, another YA author who has a wee obsession with my former boss, genius Marilyn vos Savant.

Tess Gerritsen, bestselling thriller and mystery author who I keep missing at local readings (damn it!)

John Connolly , mystery, thriller, fairy story author who has prompted in me book cover envy (see the cover for The Book of Lost Things--awesome, no?)

I like these blogs because they're often funny (especially the first two) and they impart writerly advice, wisdom, or just in-the-trenches tales to which I can relate. Maureen provides beautiful photos of Cary Grant regularly, which I appreciate. Plus she has a pet stuffed monkey. And Tess just dropped a tip the other day on how to check out how many copies of your book your local Borders has ordered (useful!)
