Blogs to follow for writers

There are times, for almost every writer out there, when they find themselves at a complete loss for words. Either they get backed up in a corner without a clue about how to continue further with their content, dried out of any enthusiasm and inspiration, or merely need help with building their information base.

If you're a writer, you've undoubtedly faced a similar looking wall at some point. That's when you've turned to anything resembling even the slightest form of help that could point you towards the right direction. Be it other writers, friends, colleagues, or even online discussion forums, you've probably sought it out. But if the advice does little to nothing to answer your questions, you should perhaps rethink your strategy. You might be surprised to find support and comfort lurking inside other realms of creativity.
