    These are rules I've picked up along the way to help me remain invisible when I'm writing a book, to help me show rather than tell what's taking place in the story. If you have a facility for language and imagery and the sound of your voice pleases you, invisibility is not what you are after, and you can skip the rules. Still, you might look them over.

    That is until today. Rory Sullivan, the creator of Clean Cut Blog displayed some remarkable generosity (that he calls nerdishness). He took the time to update all 50 of the links and he asked that Dumb Little Man republish this great list. The decision was pretty simple for me because I actually use these sites as reference for my own writing.

Today I've decided to make one version of that list public in the hopes that new bloggers everywhere can benefit, and maybe we can turn the comment section into a "you forgot this one" list.
