Other Great Writing Websites

As you can imagine, I spend a lot of time checking out other writing websites.

Often, the sites are not up too much - recycled content bordering on plagiarism, articles full of typos, you know the kind of thing. These websites make me feel good about how far I've come with Novel Writing Help.

Below, I've listed some of my favorites. (Actually, there's only a couple on the list right now, but I'll be adding more and more in the coming weeks.)

The Perils of Slinging Slang

Writer Unboxed covers both the craft and business of writing in an informative and frequently funny way. Here are the titles of a few random posts from the blog, just to give you a flavor of what you will find there...
