Every month, I share all of the websites I come across that I find helpful, humorous, or just awesome. Below, you’ll find all of May’s Website Wonders categorized into Writing, Reading, and Exploring.
If you enjoy these websites, be sure to follow me on Twitter because I share even more websites and photos like this there.
Favorite Article: What is Your Magic Number? by Kristin Nelson
Kristin Nelson, as many writers know, is a literary agent (Nelson Literary Agency), and she’s a genius. She writes #PubRants and other helpful articles and tidbits to help writers get out there and stay confident. This article is a perfect example of that. It’s short, sweet, and too the point. Nearly everyone writes numerous manuscripts before getting published, and almost no one is an overnight success. I love her honesty and sincerity. Definitely recommended.

These links are fantastic. I especially love the one explaining Vonnegut’s theory on short stories– so interesting, and so true!
I’m glad you enjoyed them! I try to find insightful and fun articles every month for writers and readers. 🙂
