As I come across resources, books, podcasts, etc that I’m using in my own writing, I’ll post the link and brief description here. This is mainly so I can more easily go back to the sites I like, but hopefully it helps others, too.
Violeta’s Indie Helper Database – Free resource for the Indie Author. I love all of the resources she has!
One Stop for Writers – From their website, “One Stop houses a vast collection of reference materials that are intended to help writers improve their craft.” It’s true – I love their multi-dimensional thesauruses; character builders; story maps; timelines, and more! They offer a 2-week trial so you have plenty of time to use the tools and resources.
