Join An Awfully Big Blog Adventure

These guys are one of my all-time favourite sites to visit for writing, process and authorly advice. Made up out of a revolving group of authors and industry peeps, ABBA are hosing a big old online literary festival this weekend to celebrate their third year on the webosphere.

If you're interested in writing - in all its many facets - do pop over to their site and check them out:
