Welcome to Writing Blog Treasures! Here you’ll find the best of the blogsphere from the past week. So, grab your coffee, sit back and above all – enjoy *smile* As a note, I’m starting Candace Haven’s Fast Draft and Revision Hell class today, so for the next couple of weeks the list will be a bit shorter than it has been, including an absence of the “Featured” and “Movies” categories. Wish me luck and enjoy the links.

Gene Lempp ~ Writer 
Seriously Gene, I thought I’d skin in here, check out the links and be on my way. There are just too darn many of them this week. I guess it’s a good thing this morning is cold and dreary ~ gives me loads of time to read them all. Yes, all of them because I don’t know what happened this week, but it was gone before I knew it so my blog reading is woefully behind. I’m still a little confused it’s Saturday. No more holidays in the middle of the week!
Fabulous list – again. Thanks for including me.
Thanks for posting, Gene! Love these link lists that you do. Especially, the “Writer’s Life” section. Tameri, it felt like Sunday when I woke up, but I am very glad it is Saturday.. 🙂
Darlene ~ Sunday? Yikes! I thought it was Friday or Tuesday. Sunday would totally throw me. Have a great weekend anyway. 🙂
Hi Gene,
Once again, thanks for including Writers in the Storm among your treasures. Susan Spann’s series has helped clarify some “issues” I didn’t even know I had! And I really liked your Writing Craft links today. Some great stuff there. Thanks for all your time and effort to put this list together for us.

Another awesome treasure trove, Gene. I see many goodies worth checking out… Thanks so much for the link-up! Have a great weekend. 🙂
You’re Blog Treasures is chock full of goodness as usual. You’re my go to publishing link person and I always love to learn more about blogging and social media. Thank you. And good luck with Fast Draft.
Spent a relaxing afternoon reading the posts in your links, Gene! Roni Loren’s post was talking to ME! I felt better afterward and it helped me make a couple of decisions. Thanks! Invaluable, my friend!
You amaze me with your awesome Blot Treasures posts, Gene. Thank you!
I’ve been away from my computer most of the week, so I’ve missed a lot. Thanks for the great round up!
Oh, and good luck on Fast Draft! I’m going to be using some of Candace’s methods soon because I have three months to write my next book. Eek!
