I've been digging around for informative and fun sites and resources. Hope you find these links helpful! :)
Backspace
Writer's community. Articles and resources are available to all.
Exclusive to members ($40/year membership) is a discussion forum, critique section, short story contests, video library,
WriteDirections
Another website I stumbled upon, this one run by writer Beth Mende Conny, which offers articles and resources for writers. Includes articles focusing on the writing process with practical tips as well as some articles categorized as "Inspiration," which might be just the thing to help you through a moment of writer's block. :)
Wake Up Writing
Daily writing prompts. Although the site hasn't been updated since April, archives go back to 2002, so there are bound to be prompts that inspire you.
Editorrent
Very popular, so you may already know this one. If not, definitely check it out for all kinds of info from the mechanics of writing to pitching your novel.
Factbites
I haven't tested this one too thoroughly yet, but it seems a valid gateway to legitimate resources. Could be helpful when doing novel research.
"The Snowflake Method"
I've been looking into how to create effective outlines, since I haven't really tried using one since my college days. Here, author Randy Ingermanson presents an interesting approach to organizing and outlining a novel.
"How to Outline (The Easy Way) Like Janet Evanovich"
From Writer's Knowledge Base, another approach: Writer's Digest explains author Evanovich's outline process, complete with storyboard example.
That's it for this week, but please feel free to add any helpful links you may have in the comments.
And be sure to stop by this weekend -- I'll have a new book review up as well as another installment of Biff and Mary. :)
