What the title says! The tumblr is still fairly empty, and I'd rather have stuff you guys want to see on the blog.

Anything taken from YWS would be taken with permission from the original author(s), minus stuff in Resources section and YWS news because that is there to be shared anyway.

You can pick every single option if that is what you want to see. That will help keep track of what options are winning. :P

I'd very much appreciate if you posted writing tips, and I'd definitely make sure to check back often.

I second the writing tips. Also, maybe include some reviews of writing books, or even just books in general?

For the "writing books" part of it, how about adding reviews for all types of resources? Reference books, reference blogs, writing blogs, ect. There are a lot of awesome resources out there for general research, if you know where to look.

I think that the quotes and writing tips would also be good because the more reblogged stuff that we have, the more likely it is that people would notice the site and it would get more publicity. The YWS news would also be helpful for those who use tumblr more than twitter and facebook.

Ooh, ooh, ooh! *Raises hand.*

Maybe feature some awesome reviews of works and/or review reviews to share what makes a good review?
