In my humble opinion, these are the best of the best of what I read on the blogosphere this week. How do I determine what the "best" is? Well, it's always arbitrary. It might be a good piece of writing, or good tips, or a good emotional connection. I'm just trying to save what I felt were the best of what I read. So here we go.

* If you haven't yet seen the "Do the Write Thing for Nashville" blog, you need to check it out right now. Bid on something! All the money goes to help victims of the Nashville floods.

* New to blogging? Check out this list of what it takes to be a good blogger. Very good!

* Agent Kristen put up a great post about beginning your novel in the right place. It was so helpful, I thought I'd pass it along.

*Booklife put up a really interesting post that all unpublished writers should probably check out. It's a great picture of the entire process of publishing a book. It's not quite as easy as it seems...

* Emily Bryan talked about what editors want from writers. Very good post.

* Do you spend too much time blogging? (I am looking in the mirror...) Check this post out.
