If you have a particular favorite among these, please let the author know (and me too, if you have time). Also, if you've a link to a great post that isn't here, feel free to share.
By the way, someone asked me why I’ve started giving Live Journal folks’ names as well as their LJ handles on these lists. It’s because I also post these weekly links on the blog at FindAWritingGroup.com. Whenever possible, I want promote the poster’s writing name. If I haven't added yours, and you'd like me to, please let me know.
