Like I said, I'm a blog monster. I gobble them up and spit them out. I write a Writing World Blog Roundup over at The Writing Bug every Friday. And so I figured I'd write a roundup of the best middle grade blog posts every Friday. I'm still new to gathering MG sites, so if you know of anyone that blogs about Middle Grade, leave a link in the comments and I'll pursue.Industry & Market

What MG blogs inspired you this week?
Wow, great links! I'm glad I found your blog (through your comment at MiG Writers). On Wednesdays, I have a feature on my blog where I look at different aspects of writing from a "middle grade" perspective (www.andrea-mack.blogspot.com). So I'm thrilled to find another blog about writing for middle graders!
