A-Z| Index Card Apps

The I post for #26Tech A-Z Challenge will preview some of my favourite organisation, ideas gathering, structuring or storyboarding apps – Index Card Apps.

Post A to Z Challenge Roadtrip

Shannon and Tina are hosting, for the third year, the Post A to Z Challenge Roadtrip. This will run all the way up to December, and all you need to do is signup on a linky list, and travel around the blogs listed as participants in this year’s Blogging from A to Z Challenge.

Given I was already intending getting around all the blogs, signing up and grabbing the little blog button was a no-brainer.

#atozchallenge A to Z Reflections

My reflections on the Blogging from A to Z Challenge of last month, word by word – A to Zed:

#atozchallenge Z is for Zee Endz

Well, I’m not making up a Z post for the sake of it. It’s been a long and windy journey, and if you’ve arrived at Z via the #AtoZChallenge, I congratulate you on your perseverance. It’s been a tough journey for all the bloggers, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed writing out these posts, and doing the rounds of reading others.

This post will simply work as an appendum, containing a list of all the references, links, and books I’ve used in this A-Z post series on Writer’s Core Habits. But first – a video…

#atozchallenge Y is for 2Years2aBook [Infographic]

2 Years to a Book. That’s what I realised I could accomplish – on top of my normal writing projects and goals during the year. For others who don’t have the luxury of so many free hours to write, as I do, the program also allows for a book draft completed during that first year.

Rights of the Reader

#atozchallenge X is for X-Ray Reading – Read as a Writer

As a new writer, one of the hardest lessons I learned (aside from the sheer hard work of writing) was that I would no longer be able to pick up a book to simply read for pleasure.

The core habit I’m discussing here is something that we as writers must be able to do –  that of reading as a writer – or developing some x-ray lens when we read.

#atozchallenge W is for The Writing Rule Book [Infographic]

Writing Maxims to Live By, and Break

“There are three rules for writing. Unfortunately, nobody knows what they are.” – Somerset Maugham.

If only there were a Writing Rule Book, but it went missing, along with that Parent Manual 101 I was looking for some years back.

V is for Writer Vices [Bonus Graphic]

#atozchallenge V is for Visual Motivations for Writers [Gallery Post]

Previously I’ve discussed the writer’s space and the use of visual cues to set habits of writing around (See E for Environment and H for Habits).

Today in a visual post, I’m featuring a small gallery of writing things which may act as visual motivators or cues for writing.
