Tips for Writers

Writer’s Tips – Author’s Toolbox, Scams, Search Engines, Freelance Writing and More!

Published on by

Hi everyone! Welcome back to my Writing Tips edition. This is the first post I’m sharing of 2020 on tips this year since I was on a winter hiatus. I picked out some posts I found had great information along my blog and newsletter reading, and I think  all writers will find these posts helpful in some way. There’s always something in my tips that you may not need now, but more than likely you will need at some point in your writing career, so you may want to create a folder for yourself in your files or in an app file for future reference. I personally, have all my reference files in the Evernote app, in case you’re looking for a recommendation. (No, this isn’t a sponsored ad, just trying to be helfpful.)

    1. Thanks Pete. That app comes in handy, especially for lists. I keep a list of my hub’s meds on it, so anytime we’re asked at hospital or new doc appointment, I have the list handy. 🙂

  6. Outstanding! I have multiple folders, by category, for all the tips I see from you and everybody else out there happy to share them! Yes, some I don’t need now but foreseeable use in the future. Only a few here and there that aren’t a fit for me. Thanks, as always! 🙂
