This year I’m starting the year right by highlighting some of the best writing blogs on the web. I love to visit blogs about writing for inspiration, encouragement and motivation, and it’s with those three qualities in mind that I have compiled this list of the top 25 writing blogs.
Next year I will expand the list to the top 50, and I’d like to do that with your help. You can help by posting links to writing blogs you love in the comments. If you’re a blogger for writers, how about introducing yourself and add your link in the comments, too.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of the Champions! A badge is located at the end of this post if you’d like to display your awesomeness on your website. All of you have an open invitation to guest post here on Positive Writer.
