While I’m careful about backing up my Palm and important directories on my computer, I neglected my bookmarks. Word to self: bookmarks are irreplaceable too. So when Firefox mysteriously crashed and burned last week, I was forced to, eek, uninstall and reinstall the program. I thought I had made the proper back up, but no. The great article I used as a key reference was lost.

I tried to Google it, but no luck. However, in my convoluted surfing, I did come across an absolute treasure of a site, loaded with links with advice and articles for writers. Writing-World.com
has advice for writers of all genres. The advice spans the world of writing from grammar basics to character development to publishing. I spent a whole morning perusing its many topics. Already I have a litany of updates to make on my own mystery. Though we hear these adages many times, it helps to see them in black and white, glaring at you. I’m reminded of the nun who taught us composition and grammar in grade school. Sometimes it’s just this kind of kick in the pants a writer needs to get back to the keyboard and write.
