October Scribes Blog Carnival
Welcome to the October 13, 2008 edition of Scribes. This definitely isn’t the first Monday of the month, but it is the first Monday that I have been home. So welcome to the slightly late October edition of the carnival.
I didn’t have as many submissions this time around as I usually do, so I’m going to break my own rules of two submissions per site so I can feature some excellent articles from my new favourite writer’s resource site: A Boy Goes on a Journey…
I hope you’ll enjoy them and check out the site. I’m JMSilver there, just in case you decide to join up.
Without further ado…
