Two Great Blogs to Check Out

Billions of blogs litter the interweb, and I just don't have time to read them all. But agent Chip MacGregor's blog keeps me laughing AND I learn something important or interesting or inspirational.  Check out Chip at chipmacgregor.com and see for yourself what all the hype's about.

Another blog I can't live without is Jeff Gerke's Where The Map Ends, at wherethemapends.com. Jeff used to be an acquisitions editor at a Christian publisher, and now freelances. He's a published author, and he knows absolutely EVERYONE in the speculative fiction circles.  He's got interviews, an idea generator, fabulous inspirational artwork, and my favorite, the Tools for Writers: Tip of the Week. Please check him out.

The Inevitable "First Post"

I'm Sonja Hutchinson, a writer of Christian fiction. Fantasy, to be
specific. Or "Speculative Fiction," if you want to get technical. In
this blog, I intend to write about the things that impact writers:
generating ideas, writing tips, the tools of the trade, agents and
publishers, links to other excellent blogs, reviews of fictional
works, upcoming workshops and conferences, etc. Basically, if a
subject impacts the sphere of fictional writing, I'll be tempted to
talk about it here. I reserve the right to change my mind at any
time--a perk of being female--and go off on tangents. I'll always try
to bring it back around to the realm of writing, though. I hope you
enjoy the posts and find something useful in them.
