I'm cheating here because this isn't a post as such, just a series of links. And some of them are links to posts that consist mostly of ... links to posts. Allow me to justify why this qualifies as the most Boring but Useful post on my blog.
I'm one week into the online self-editing course I'm running together with Emma Darwin on behalf of the Writers' Workshop.
It's going really well. Writers of all ages and in all genres, living in different continents and environments, all working together with the same aim: to produce the best possible writing. Love it, love it, love it.
In my feedback, I kept finding myself wanting to link to a blog post. If you're reading this, you'll know that, unlike Emma's blog, this isn't a lit blog as such. It's a hotchpotch mishmash soupy stew of rants mixed with tips and info, seasoned with a dash of laughter and with some spicy personal details sprinkled over the top.
In amongst this seemingly random jumble, there are some posts about the writing process but each time I want to link to them, I have to spend ages sieving through the other stuff to track them down.
So here are the links to the last couple of years' lit posts, all served up on one platter.

Of course ...
I've just realised it's April. How did that happen?
Just a quick post to let people know about some courses on offer this month (Quick because I have to dash off to do the prep for them!)
On 30th April, I'm running a 1 day workshop in Waterloo on behalf of Writers' Workshop. It's a How to Write Your Novel course, aimed at people who want to learn the basics and costs £99 (includes lunch, refreshments and a discount voucher for WW services).
If you're looking for something more advanced and want to work online and at your own pace as well as receive feedback on your own writing, Emma Darwin and I are co-leading a 6 week course beginning 16th April: Self-Editing Your Own Novel.
For details of both go here and click on the date of the course you're interested in or follow the links above.
If you can't afford any of the above but are looking for help with techniques, feedback from fellow writers, or just general chat with a warm and supportive community, I strongly recommend you get yourself over to WordCloud which is free and you can't say fairer than that!
