October Scribes Blog Carnival

by JM

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…
