This week’s “Of Note” features Lisa Vella’s Getting it Write for You blog. Lisa does get it right with this blog, which is described in the blog’s banner as a “blog of encouragement, learning, and inspiration for writers of genres.”
It’s easy to find elements of encouragement, learning, and inspiration in Lisa’s blog. This past week she has been blogging on the importance of reading (something that I fully believe in). In this post she lists fifteen reasons why reading is important. In this later post she lists another eight reasons why we should read.
Lisa provides an awesome resource for writers with her post, “Three Tips to Avoid Repitition in Your Writing.” I know that I will be referring back to this particular post often. I’ve got it bookmarked on my computer.
If you haven’t discovered Lisa’s blog yet, or if you haven’t visited it in a while, you’ll want to make this blog a regular stop in your daily reading.

Note: If you’re consistently posting great information and haven’t seen your blog featured in Of Note yet, I apologize. I’ll probably find you soon. I know there are a lot of great blogs out there; I discover more new ones each day. (So many blogs, so little time.)

Lisa, you certainly deserved the recognition. You’ve been doing a really good job with your blog.
Alicia, I am actually amazed at how many writing blogs there are. Just when I think I’ve found the best of them I discover a whole new grouping of them.

Thanks for the link… I just found the blog and will be visiting more often. I love finding new good writers… and I’ll have a space to fill now, with Miss Snark retiring.
