Every day I scour the internet looking for articles on writing that are helpful to me as a beginning writer. When I find something, I will share it over Twitter.
Every Friday I will post what I call a Link Round-up of all the useful articles I've found over the past week.
This week was a rough week for me. I haven't been sleeping which for me, makes it nearly impossible to be productive. So I wasn't able to get a post up on Wed, and I don't have quite as many links to share today.
They are all great articles though, so you should still be able to find something that's helpful to you.

About the author
My name is Kelly Leiter. I’ve always wanted to be a writer, but after suffering from Major Depression and Bipolar Disorder for over 15 years, I’ve only recently been able to begin working towards that dream.
I’m starting from scratch and working hard to be the best writer I can be. This blog is for all the writers out there like me, the ones who are just starting out. You are not alone.
