Some Awesome Resources for Fellow Writers

I'm surprised my face is pictured here.

I have this thing I do where I continuously research. This was my big issue with my lack of internet access. It wasn't the fact that I couldn't keep in contact with everyone (I know, I'm evil), it was because I couldn't google anything and research. My researching obsessions is no different when it comes to my writing. I like to read up on different tips to help with characterization or how to make your villains more interesting, etc. I can't get enough of it!

My all time favorite site to find articles for such is Fiction Factor. During the "Hopeless Time" of my fabled lack of internet access (that lasted 2 or so years), every time I actually got internet access, I saved a few articles off of the Fiction Factor site so I could go home and read up on it whenever I wanted. I still have a giant folder full of saved webpages from there. They have so many good tips. I would definitely recommend that site for any fellow writers that are like me and always like to read up on ways to improve or for inspiration of any kind.

Also, I found a fabulous post on tumblr with a ton of resources: 102 Resources for Fiction Writing. I haven't looked through all of them, but I see it as The Holy Grail right now. Especially for someone who article hoards as much as I do.

The NaNoWriMo forums are also amazing when it comes to any sort of information on writing. People are always posting new links to fiction writer resources.

Just thought I'd share~ Back to working on The Light Ahead. Let's see how much I can get done before the 31st! 20k words? 15k words? Bueller?
