I can recommend this blog to writers: The Mechanic & the Muse.

I found some interesting posts on this blog.

There’s a link to a “ly detector.” It will highlight all words on a web page ending in “ly.” Adverbs, watch out!

Then there’s “The Passivator.”

They are both Java bookmarklets — whatever that means. I’d better find out.

Chip Scanlan, the author of The Mechanic & The Muse, also has an interesting posting called “What James Frey Should Have Written.” In this posting, he quotes an example of a good disclosure by a memoirist.
