What writing websites do you read.

I am into

http://www.copyblogger.com/
http://www.thegoldenpencil.com/
http://www.problogger.net/ (of course)

Plus a ton of forums which have content or writing forums.

What about you?

I've never checked into these kinds of resources before, but I will now.

Thanks!

I guess I don't really frequent any writing websites. Though I have been meaning to start checking out WritingForums.com. Though that's a different type of writing.

I suppose I've always felt that the best way to learn how to write, is to read as much as possible of the type of things you want to write--and then just start writing. (I.e., if you want to learn how to write marketing copy for brochures, pick up as many brochures as you can.) So I never really got into reading about how to write.

I read...

News @ CNN, Digg "Stories" and other places which provide tech information

I don't read any websites that are specific to writing - other than a fiction one, but that's a little off topic.

I just read. Read whatever I can.

NONE better than Michel Fortin's copywritersboard.com.

Lot's of well seasoned web writers and none better than Mike.

Not a complete list (I have some RSS feeds in Bloglines, but I can't pick out the writing ones from the investment ones from the insurance ones... ):

www.meryl.net (Great information)
www.theshiftedlibrarian.com (Not precisely about writing per se, but Information Science techniques can often 'make the difference' in writing...)
www.writersweekly.net
http://www.writersrow.com/deborahng/...itingjobs.html
http://crofsblogs.typepad.com/fiction/ ( some interesting reads )
www.freelancewriting.com ( tread carefully, but some decent things here )
www.copyblogger.com

Mostly, I study the sites & portfolios of copywriters / writers that I respect (Steve Slaunwhite, Bob Bly, Peter Bowerman).
