While many blogs focus on one an area of shopping (like tech or fashion), this is a good place to start for general, relevant shopping news--from consumer trends to best-selling products. Updated almost daily, this blog highlights articles from a variety of sources (from Allure magazine to Consumer Reports)
in easily browseable categories ranging from Auto (entries on comparison gas shopping,
a vehicle dependability survey, and "Cars of the Stars") to Holiday (articles on gift
ideas for Mother's & Father's Days, Valentine's Day spending and a study by the National
Christmas Tree Association). Other categories include Anti-Aging, Pampered Pets, Posh
Kids and Travel, among others. Recent items include Japanese "decorers" (trend for
Japanese girls to decorate themselves like Christmas trees) and what's hot in luxury
home features ("Not going away: granite countertops and hardwood floors.")

"Other authors find inspiration at sites geared specifically
to their craft. Among these, one of the most comprehensive is
Writer's Write (www.writerswrite.com). It has links to reference
resources including dictionaries, encyclopedias, government
agencies and science and health sites that writers might want
to visit. There is information on writers' conferences, job
listings and media-industry news. There's also a monthly feature
called Internet Writing Journal, a free online magazine that
interviews established novelists, screenwriters and journalists
to glean advice on how to improve writing skills. In one recent
issue, Lawrence Block, author of the books "Hope to Die" and
"Hit List," offered guidance to new writers on how to create
realistic dialogue for characters."

"As the digital effects in this summer's movies make our eyes bulge, it's easy for us to forget about the core element of any story: the plot!
