Here is a writing blog site that was recommended to me by a girl who seems to go out of her way to help other authors...
The motto of the site is "Escape from Unpubbed Island...writing contests, publication and everything in between."
I was told the site has a bit of a Christian leaning, and in fact on the "About Us" page it says...
"This is the blog of the Seekers, fifteen unpublished and newly published Christian writers. We are all contest winners and finalists who randomly collided on the road toward publication.
This group blog offers what we offer each other--support, encouragement, information for the writing journey.
Since we all have experience in fiction writing contests, we'll be posting contest updates as well as posts on writing craft, contest savvy, and spirit-boosters."
I'm told that it offers useful advice...regardless of genre...check it out...
