Don't forget to fave the news article for this list here!
08.02.2012 Oh look, shiny massive update of new writing blogs! Now including poetry and some other interesting bits and bobs, so scroll down and enjoy. I would have added more, but I would never have gotten any sleep at the rate I was going. Ahem. So I've been feeling the itch to post news articles on these writing blogs again, but I'm not sure whether there's enough interest for me to start doing them again. For anyone who's new to this list and what I used to do in the past, here's an example right here: julietcaesar.deviantart.com/jo… When I used to do them, I actually caught the attention of some of these bloggers on Twitter who thanked me personally for featuring them on deviantART, which was equally surprising and humbling for me. But it's you guys I'm more concerned about. Would you be interested if I did those articles again? Or are you happy to simply see a sporadically updated journal in your inbox as I add blogs and other things to it? Either way, I hope to keep this as a useful resource for any writer on deviantART. 
Writing blogs often have a great source of information about writing, reading and just literature in general. With a plethora of them on the internet, it's often hard to keep track of which ones to read on a regular basis. With this list, I hope to have collected a sample of the writing blogs that I've found quite useful as I've meandered around the internet (or in my case, mostly on Twitter). This list is by no means complete and can be modified from time to time.
Because the list can look intimidating and you're not sure where to start, I have decided starting from January 2011 to post a biweekly article spotlighting one of these writing blogs with links to three different articles that I've found most useful from them, as well as further links to stay in contact with those blogs. Keep an eye on that when it starts.
If you have a suggestion for a great writing blog that I haven't listed here, feel free to leave a comment on this journal and I will add it to the list. I hope you find this useful!
Please note there can be a considerable overlap in content with some blogs; i.e some general writing blogs may contain creative writing advice and vice versa. I have only included blogs that are fully about creative writing in their own category, while those that have a mixture in the "General" category. Please keep that in mind. Creative Writing Blogs
