I’ve spent a lot of time looking at writing blogs, and 9 out of 10 are really marketing blogs. They might say they’re about writing, but really they’re about selling. (Also an interesting topic, but not the one I’m interested in.)

This blog, from Patricia Wrede, is absolutely the exception to the rule. I think I learn something every time she posts. And this post, on creating beats with punctuation, fits right in with what I’ve been trying to figure out lately.

(Also trying to figure out whether an ellipsis is three periods in a row or three periods separated by spaces. But such is the life of a geeky writer.)
