Writer Wednesday Blog Tour #12

Every week I weed through over 100 blogs, looking for writing advice and new books to add to my reading queue. Considering how time consuming this is, I share the posts I find the most interesting here every week. If you’d like me to add your blog to my feeder or a link from my weekly tour, leave a comment on the most current tour or send me a link via Twitter @by_wjhoward.
