Who ever has a blog or a website tell us a little about it?

I'll go first. My blog is JonathanFigaro.com, and I use it to share my work all over the world.

Your turn?

What do you talk about or use your blog or website for?

I do (link in my signature) though I'm constantly debating whether to split it all up into three separate websites again. I'm currently using it as a blog, but it's also got my art portfolio and a page for my pro writing. Not sure they all fit together, or what I'll do with it all if I ever get this effing manuscript published :)

I don't see your website or blog on your sig. Maybe i got bad eyes? "shoulder shrugs" But, that manuscript sounds rocking. Whats the story about? I personally know the editing process is a son of a b-otch. I'm getting my book edited as we speak. My friend is helping me out. She's incredible and I DON'T have to pay her. THANK GOD!

I have a blog.. Nephysmusings.blogspot.com ... I dont update it everyday though and I mostly post short stories for my friends who like my writing ideas. Several years ago I created a websit from scratch, using html codinh, that I learned. But its sitting in internet space collecting dust. I havent updated it in 10+ yrs. One of these days when I have the time or when/if my book sells.... Ill fix it. I use angelfire as a host though.

My Website. Show me yours.

My pompous "About" message:
This site tries to chronicle the process of my writing as well as showcasing some of it. It also hopes to help visitors become better writers and readers by offering connections to a community of minds brought together from throughout the digital universe. I write novels with a style gained from writing songs and poems.

We've got a couple blogs (see signature). The host we used prior decided to go out of business and we didn't have a back-up. The preferred excuse for that would be, "too busy writing," but that's not the case. Oops. So they're a little dry for now.

I have a blog, it's usually about writing, but occasionally I'll stray to diy or organisational projects etc. Feel free to check it out in my link. I usually visit my commenters blogs too :)

I have a website with a blog: http://www.annelyle.com

I blog about the fantasy genre, including book and film reviews, and of course any major announcements about my own books. Usually I post once a week on Tuesdays, unless there's something especially timely that needs to go up there. Last year I ran a monthly book giveaway, and I dare say I might have another one when my own book comes out!

There's also a "microsite" (click on "Novels") specifically about my current Elizabethan trilogy, where I put links to buy the forthcoming book, plus tidbits of background information - there'll be a sample first chapter and some deleted scenes going on there in March, to whet your appetite...

My blogs are...

I have two blogs for screenwriters...

First there's http://www.theworkingscreenwriter.blogspot.com, which is my official blog and has tons of "tales from the trenches" entries, plus interviews with lit agents, working screenwriters, writers who have entered some of the myriad screenwriting competitions...and two in-depth interviews with Justin Samuels, the black screenwriter suing William Morris and CAA for racial discrimination. (A truly mind-blowing interview!)

Then there's http://www.theworkingscreenwriter2.blogspot.com, which provides solid how-to tips...a must-read if you're making one of your first attempts at screenwriting.

I have my blog (www.jmkeep.com/blog) where I mostly write about games, media, feminism, diversity, and all those fun things. A lot of sociology influenced observations, especially in regards to character or world creations - especially for fantasy/sci-fi!

Love it when someone does this kind of thread. Yes, I check the other blog threads but this always seem to bring an infusion of new and interesting blogs to the forefront.

I let my website fall away years ago and rarely tend to my writing blog - maybe a couple posts a month but happily blog away on my accidental blog, which I threw out on the web to give a character a web presence and she took it from there. I've been clicking links like mad in this thread (though I haven't left a comment, often because I wasn't sure how to or I bounced to the next one too soon) so be nice and drop by DearHelenHartman.com

I blog about politics @ http://af12.webs.com/ Does anyone else ever feel that public service these days seem less about the "public" and "service"?

In addition to blogging, Am trying to author a book (hopefully a series) about a modern day politician trying to maintain a sense of integrity amid the murky depths of politics as usual in Washington, DC.
