Welcome to the very first Friday link love of 2009.  I have quite a lot to share with you today so here goes.

First up is a post called The 10 Free Resources Every Writer Needs.  Some excellent stuff here and definitely worth the read.

Over on Mashable they have a great post title 100+ places to find jobs.  Some great gems here and some websites I hadn’t heard about before.  I’ve bookmarked quite a few.

Next a website I found while stumbling called Learn Gsm with a great post on 50 Useful Google Apps For Writers.

The next website link is not so much a blog post but I’m including it anyway.  Bright Hub are looking for writers to submit content and be paid for it.  Sounds promising so be sure to check this one out.

Web Writer News has a post about getting paid to write and earning residual income.

About freelance Writing has a great post on Goal Setting and Keeping which is perfect for the start of a new year.  Some great tips in this article.  This website also has another excellent post titled “Are you in love with your Writing?” This is definite must read for everyone.

The Golden Pencil have a very good article this week on Deadly Freelance Assumptions (or how to go out of business) Some excellent freelance myths debunked in this article and a must read for all freelancers.

Author Marketing Experts have a great post on Trend Spotting and Predictions for 2009.  This article gives writers an insight into what to be writing about in 2009.  Very good article and a definite for bookmarking so that you can refer back to it often.

Nick Daws Writing Blog is next with a post titled Seven Reasons to be Cheerful in 2009.  In this article Nick explains why the economic turndown might just be a really good thing for us writers.  Thanks Nick very inspiring.

Last but not least I have something for all the writers out there that like to write poetry.  Writing Roads are creating The Love E-book.  This project is for charity which in itself is always a good cause and they are looking for submissions for their ebook.  Deadline for submission is 31st January so why not take a look at what they are planning and see if you can’t help out.

That’s it for this Friday but I’m sure you will agree there is plenty here to keep you reading for quite some time.  So make yourself a cup of coffee or tea and get comfortable.  Just be sure to leave your comments and let me know what link you found most useful this week.

Until next time,

Keep writing.
